Inspired!

Hello to anyone who might be reading this blog! I just returned from an amazing workshop all about reading and am truly inspired. I want to make several positive changes in my classroom to aide my students in their quest for knowledge. I want them to develop a thirst for books and devour them eagerly. I want to help them do that.

My mission this summer is to read as much as possible and blog about it! I have chosen several books that may or may not appeal to the age group that I teach. (3rd through 5th grade) However, this blog is not just for them. My hope would be that students in junior high and high school here at Cherokee would read my blog and be inspired to read as well. In my reviews I will give a short synopsis. I will give my opinions on the book as well as what age group I think would enjoy the book most. Later in the school year, I will allow students to write blogs on the books they are reading too. I am so excited about this endeavor and hope that this blog can be enjoyed by students, teachers, and parents alike!

My first book is The Fault in our Stars by John Greene. I have just begun reading it so it will be a few days before I get my review up. Stay tuned....
