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....

Mid-Week Reads

I learn so much from Twitter! It is truly a constant PLN. I have been overwhelmed by it in the past. At iPadpalooza 2015 - it was stated WTF? What's the FEAR? About Twitter, but I know the fear of being unable to read it all, that's the fear. The fear of doing it wrong. The fear of never finding the hashtag? But I've fixed that in my head, I don't have to read it all. A colleague of mine said he is limiting his to 50 people to follow so he only selects great Tweeters who have something to do with his content of History. So his is more specific, while mine is jumping all over the place, with great librarians, principals, school leadership, teachers, authors, magazines, writers. I am trying to read all the blogs, reviews, ideas, books, plus Twitter chats scheduled all the time is just crazy. It goes so fast and changes so quickly. That's the FEAR! So this month my challenge goal is to calm down my own head about Twitter. Just read what I want,...

Reflective Wanderings

This summer there are so many ways that I have learned new things. From classes with Mr. LeBeau to National Conferences, to Twitter, and blogs daily. There is just so much that my ADHD is just wallowing in it all. I have learned that EVERYONE you meet knows something you don’t. I have learned: I must limit my time on Twitter because I will be there forever and reading so many blogs my eyes will cross. google forms can be used for exit tickets reading choice matters tons of reasons to help kids read and why I need a way to keep up with all the blogs that I read so I can share with others: This morning I read - great ways to reword you questions.
