Reading in the Wild: Book Study Schedule

Happy, happy 3rd day of summer, friends! I hope this note finds you well and loving your well-deserved break. I’ve decided that summer break is great for the teacher’s soul – so much reading, so much cooking, so much outside time, so much planning. It’s my first summer as a teacher, and I’m loving it! 
I’m finally making a dent on the stack of books by my bed. I’ve made it through James Patterson’s 11th Hour, Ron Clark’s The End of Molasses Classes, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars (ohmygoodness!), and I am working on re-reading Donalyn Miller’s Reading in the Wild for our bloggy summer book study. The fun and collaboration begins Thursday and I cannot wait! 

We have some AMAZING bloggers and non-bloggers joining us over the next 7 weeks, and I cannot wait! Check out the hosts for each of the chapters/sections and make sure to follow them, so you don’t miss anything. 🙂 If your a blogger, awesome! Join us each week by linking up your posts/ideas. If you’re not a blogger, that’s great, too! You can read/follow and comment. We want to hear your advice, thoughts, and ideas for the classroom, too. The more teachers we have joining, the more amazing out classrooms will be this fall!

    I've been following you on instagram for a few months now and finally had the chance to check out your blog. I too just finished my first year teaching (5th grade) and I must say I'm completely amazed by you and all your work!

    I just purchased the book on my kindle and cannot wait for this book study. I'm very excited!

    I love following your blog! For a first year teacher, you're pretty amazing! I'm going to try to join the book study. 🙂 Woohoo! I'm going on my 15th year of teaching, and I'm in awe of your creativity! Keep up the great work. Oh, I saw "The Fault in Our Stars" today! Good movie. I need to read the book!
