I am really admiring your plan for the summer!<br />If you had more time, but who are we kidding, there is never enough time, I would also recommend TOME Society's It List. There may be some overlap, but there lists are always so great it would just be good reinforcement!<br />http://www.tomesociety.org/blog/2019-2020-it-lists<br /><br />Thank you for joining the #8weeksofsummer blogging challenge!pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084245656873833178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-28616234093283326162019-06-19T13:41:50.208-05:002019-06-19T13:41:50.208-05:00Hi Joy,

I have a lot of professional books to read, but I will certainly be taking time to read ones that touch my soul as well. I'm going to read Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson and Genesis Begins Again by Alicia D. Williams.<br /><br />Have a great, relaxing, and joyful summer full of good books,<br />DeniseDenise Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583406241247334445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-29752051133707053382019-06-19T10:36:57.586-05:002019-06-19T10:36:57.586-05:00This challenge was a great idea :)This challenge was a great idea :)Judehttps://omg.betnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-616584702979898152019-06-15T16:34:56.789-05:002019-06-15T16:34:56.789-05:00There are a lot of good ones on the Project LIT li...There are a lot of good ones on the Project LIT lists. Obviously I've liked some better than others, but I think everyone I have read has been good. There are also several there that are on my pile for the summer. Before your comment on my review, I was going to recommend New Kid by Jerry Craft after I saw your reading goals, but now I know you've read that one too.Eric Schlabachhttps://schlabachreads.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-26856463170909475312019-06-14T22:20:41.796-05:002019-06-14T22:20:41.796-05:00And you inspired my post for the challenge: follow...And you inspired my post for the challenge: follow your passions as a teacher too! http://whatelse.edublogs.org/2019/06/14/8weeksofsummer-goals/ Sheri42https://www.blogger.com/profile/06110059329788147499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-60631826305796829062019-06-14T22:19:58.307-05:002019-06-14T22:19:58.307-05:00Hi Joy -- I've got so many books to read; my k...Hi Joy -- I've got so many books to read; my kindle is overflowing! I'm spending time in art illustration books and mysteries, two of my passions that would also be of value to my teaching. I've got "A Guide to Documenting Learning" by Silvia Tolisano and Janet Hale opened and I'd also like to read David Geurin's "Future Driven: Will Your Students Thrive in an Unpredictable World?" I'm glad we're accepting the challenge of #8weeksofsummer !

I should probably go back to that one now that I have been able to say "they" in actual practice at school... Good luck with your curriculum this summer. May your thinking cap be working at its strongest so you don't have to spend TOO much time on it all!

I have also read one "teacher book" which is Hacking Project Based Learning by Erin Murphy and Ross Cooper. I would love to read more things, but I'm reviewing English textbooks for my state's DOE and reworking my curriculum for the four classes that I'm teaching next year. Of course, that involves reading too, but I need time to think through everything, so, unfortunately, I won't be doing as much pleasure reading this summer as I'd like.Mike Steinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605599165862335267noreply@blogger.com
