I have finished reading The Daily Five and The Cafe as our district is offering a class this week on using and implementing "The Daily Five". I also read Angela Maiers book on Habitudes a few weeks ago. My next quick professional read will be Morning Meetings as I visited a school in Wisconsin that implements great "morning meetings" and I am looking to tweek mine some.

Not sure why my book titles didn't underline. I had them set to . Oh well. :)

The Book Whisper sounds interesting and I may look into it. Thanks.

I JUST got my copy of The Book Whisperer yesterday and I am WAY excited about it!

First few lines: "I am not a reading researcher. I am not a reading policy expert. I do not have a PhD. What I am is a reading teacher..."

I think this is going to be one of my faves along with Mosaic of Thought, Guiding Readers & Writers, and Teaching with Intention.

Don't you just LOVE it when you find such a treasure?! :-)

I am going to be starting Debbie Miller's Teaching With Intention once I finish up Boys Adrift by Dr. Leonard Sax. I think Boys Adrift would make an interesting book club/discussion book for educators, parents, and administration.
