We all have those lists of things we want to get done, want to read, want to bake, want to make… someday. And I will tell you that Pinterest hasn’t helped me in that fact at all! I’ve blogged before about my “Want to Make” board on Pinterest but I could probably add in my Recipes or Dairy Free Recipes boards as well because it’s all a “someday“.
Well today it’s all about the books that I want to read. You may be thinking, “But you said this is your “someday” list.” Well someday is now and I’m giving myself a goal to read them this school year!
I am excited about getting into this book and seeing how I can further connect strategies that students learn and hold onto for dear life in literacy and then carry over in math. This is so crucial for our middle school kiddos because math is frustrational for so many of them. Don’t even get me talking numbers that aren’t understanding basic concepts and have weak foundations.
I was deeply impacted by Freedom Writer’s Diary and how it made me feel about where I was teaching at the time (a suburban Title 1 School where I had 19 2nd graders) and I’m interested in how Mr. Danza reflects on his time with 10th graders in an inner-city school.
As you can see, I have a lot of books to read over the course of the next year. Reading to me is not always just about learning but also for pleasure.
What is one book that is on your “Must Read” list right now? Why should I add it to mine?
