It's Monday! What are You Reading?
School is finally done for the year and I am so looking forward to catching up on my reading. The pile and list seem to grow longer every week!

The past couple of weeks I read:

The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate (YA)

I had seen this book reviewed and recommended so many times that I had to read it. I loved it!  I know I will be using this as a read aloud in the fall. I am so looking forward to that.

I read 3 books by Marsha Skrypuch:
Silver Threads  (a picture book)- about the Ukrainian internment in Canada during WWI

Aram's Choice -
Stolen Child  (Both good books about children during war)

I finally read "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" by Judy Blume. I could so relate to those Grade 5 issues! Really enjoyed it!

Currently reading:

I am taking part in several teacher book clubs this summer, so I will be working through:

The Daily Five by  Gail Boushey and Joan Moser   (this will be a reread for me)

Guiding Readers by Lori Jamison Rog

Guided Math by Lanny Sammons


As well I have these books to read first on my list:

The Bread Winner by Deborah Ellis (YA novel about a girl in Afghanistan)

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Making Bombs for Hitler by Marsha F. Skrypuch (YA)

As the week goes on I will probably pick up other books as well. I want to make a big dent in my list this summer!
