Reading Week Two of my Summer

NEVER NEVER

I read NEVER Never by Colleen Hoover this week in the E-book version. I love the story and was really hooked into these characters.... and then you are left hanging, so be prepared to buy book 2 for $2.99 to really find out what has happening to these two high school students who seem to have everything going for them, except wait they can't remember anything every 48 hours. Guess What Book 2 also leaves you hanging so I am waiting on the author to complete this series just so I can KNOW what happened. I am torn about this new marketing strategy. I wan to read the latest books, but do I want to wait a year while the author finished. For avid reader it is hard.

Have a great day, by helping someone else's day be great!

Today was my 17th 'first day' in education. My 11th in public school at Everman I.S.D. I am learning more and more every day. The kids make it so much more fun though. All summer I have been in and out of trainings, with some kids for summer school, and working the last two weeks with adults. Today was better because the KIDS were there. Some were scared and unsure. Some were angry their sleep was disturbed. Some were tired of the dress code already, but they were there. I know in their heads they are saying to themselves, "this year, THIS IS the year I am going to be awesome, I am going to start off on the right foot, and make great grades. I will be organized. I will ace every class. Then there are the ones in lines with parents trying to just register and praying they have all the paper work required like at the D.M.V. The constant paper work that ties us to places and people required to prove something. I like the kids....

Break Out Your Reading Skills!

Break Out Your Reading Skills Challenge This challenge will ask our readers to READ a piece of non-fiction. Then answer 5 questions to get a code. If they get all 5 answers correct their code should unlock the snack box to BREAK out a snack for you and a friend. If you get the first 4 answers correct you should have the code to BREAK out one snack for yourself. So I have three cards of five questions each. These questions are STAAR formatted to keep it familiar to students, and are based on 7th & 8th Grade reading TEKS. Each question tells you page numbers, so you really don't have to read the whole book but you can read parts of the articles or stories in it to answer the questions. Like a short article, or quick story, no more than two or three pages each. Students try a story, to see if their code unlocks the lock. I am using the following non-fiction books: The Queen's Shadow - A Story about How Animals See by C...
