Book Shelf

I thought this might be a cool element to add to the Blog. Anyone wanting to add a book to the bookshelf can go to

Sign in using methods2spring2008@gmail.com for the username
The password is the same as the blog.

If we all add a book now and again we could bet a great list for our classes.

And, Melissa, if you'd rather we not have this on the blog, go ahead and take if off. This is, after all, your site.

Reluctant Readers

So I forgot the username and password for our website, so I am just going to post a comment. I was doing a research paper about motivating elementary kids to read, and I had an interesting thought as to why students become classified as "reluctant readers" so if you're interested in my theory you can check out my blog at russellkerri.blogspot.com.(it's the first posting on the page, for now).

Poetry Out Loud

Those of you teaching HS might find this site interesting.
Poetry Out Loud
I just got done listening to a really really old recording of Alfred, Lord Tennyson reading "Charge of the Light Brigade." Then I listen to Sylvia Path read "Lady Lazarus." Talk about powerful! Check it out.
