I ordered a copy of We Were Liars last week and am hoping it's finally going to arrive today. I'm eager to read that one! I also have a huge stack of professional development books and am very behind on that particular reading challenge (12 titles for 2014) as well as my #MustRead list. Gotta find more time to read!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185908392196878158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-19772808159070978612014-06-10T13:06:55.987-06:002014-06-10T13:06:55.987-06:00Red Light Green Light looks and sounds interesting...Red Light Green Light looks and sounds interesting.

I do not know Red Light, Green Light but am now anxious to find it! I am very interested in the Poetry for Two Voices because it looks as though it would be great for younger students (I have a similar book but for older students) The Most Magnificant Thing is one of my favorite new spring books - and I'm rather proud because the author is Canadian! Thanks for the great list!Adrienne Gearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06297974543085170058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-89465909845532413322014-06-09T17:09:01.407-06:002014-06-09T17:09:01.407-06:00I was curious about how The Julian Chapter would b...I was curious about how The Julian Chapter would be. It is good to know that this story is satisfying your curiosity about Julian. The book Stand in my Shoes sounds like a great book for character education and The Most Magnificent Thing also sounds like it would be great in a classroom. I hope your grandson is okay.

We had read Wonder about a month or so before. It was so interesting to see how their view of Julian went back and forth. I thought it was a perfect way to write this chapter of the story. I just read The Most Magnificent Thing as well and am putting it in my set of books for the beginning of the year relating to wonder, perseverance, and imagination.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474134165123305833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-63550345822682668402014-06-09T09:46:59.562-06:002014-06-09T09:46:59.562-06:00I hope everything is okay with your grandson!
