Summer Reading 2009!

Welcome new 4th graders!! I hope all of you are having a fantastic summer so far. Only three days in now and Mrs. Schleinz and I have already met to begin planning for next year. We are very excited to have all of you coming up to the 4th grade and we're also excited to try new things during Language Arts.

As for reading, I have a few books going on at the same time. I'm always interested in reading about boys and raising kids. Currently I am reading Why Gender Matters and How to Raise Your Spirited Child. Both are interesting and giving me a lot of insight into raising a boy who has A LOT of ENERGY! I am also reading a variety of teaching material because I always want to keep on improving as a teacher. The only book I haven't begun is my fun summer read. I always pick out a few books that are easy reads to read for pure enjoyment. If you or your parents have any suggestions send them my way please! Logan and I are off to the library tomorrow for our weekly visit, so I'll let all of you know what I pick out for myself and for the little man.

Please comment to this post about what you are reading or what you have been doing so far this summer. I look forward to hearing from all of you!

Samantha,

Thanks for commenting! Thank you also for the compliment :) I'm not sure if you are in my class but I sure hope so too! I haven't read Marley a Dog Like No Other, but I have read the adult version Marley and Me and Logan has the little kids version Bad Dog Marley. I loved reading the adult and little kids books. I am a dog lover and our dog, Murphy, reminds me a lot of Marley :) Do you have a dog? Horse camp sounds like a lot of fun. Do you ride often? I do love reading. I'm so happy to hear that you love it as well. I look forward to reading what you type again! Mrs. Hedstrom :)
