Classics?

What do readers consider classics? Lately I have been reading almost all YA lit and have notice that classics are often alluded to in YA books.

I decided that my next read will be Wuthering Heights because in Eclipse, Bella reads the book over and over. Is it because she and Edward are like the characters in Wuthering Heights? I have to finish Eclipse first, but then I am definatly on to Wuthering Heights to find out more. I had a little hiatus from reading to complete my grad school work, but hopefully between preparing to move, Christmas shopping, and attending to an almost 4 year old wild- child, I'll have some time to read!

Do you like classics? What do you consider a classic? What's your favorite classic?

Thanksgiving is over...4 more weeks.

So, Thanksgiving is over and now we have four weeks until the winter break. I finished New Moon, read another book, and now I am reading Eclipse.

Thanks, Brianna, for reccomending the Maximum Ride Series. I read it last year and suggest it all the time to students! I love James Patterson's adult books, so I started the first Maximum Ride book just out of curiosity and fell in love with the storyline and characters! I read the last one in a hurry, though, so I should probably re-read it!

We went to Virginia to visit family over the holiday, where I got a good bit of reading done; what did you do?

What are you reading now?

Hello!

Today is Thursday, one week before Thanksgiving. I started thinking about books I could read over the holidays (since I am almost finished with my grad school work).

I like to read young adult books so that I can suggest titles to my students. Last spring, I started to read New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, but a friend told me the ending so I got angry and stopped reading.

I think I am over my Twilight Series anger now and want to finish the books, but can't seem to get into the whole story again...

So what are your suggestions of good books for me to read over the holidays?

The book fair is over; on to technology...

We had an amazing book fair at CMS this year!

Thanks to all of the help from the Book Fair Crew, Ms. Harris, Krystal, parents, volunteers, many teachers, administration, and staff, we exceeded our goal and increased sales by 51%! We earned $1500 for the CMS Media Center to buy books, supplies, etc. and we received $440 to use toward materials from Scholastic for the CMS Media Center that teachers and students can use!

Students are already coming back in to check out and return books.

I am working on some new technology and research tools that will soon be integrated into the CMS Media Center Website!

Come see us soon.

Thanks for all of your support!

Book fair, blogging, etc.

The book fair is in full swing, and I am at a blog training session today! I thought the best subject to do a blog on is the CMS Media Center!

Ms. Harris is working the book fair as I speak. Things have been going well. We sold over $400 in our first official day open!

If you are interested in posting to the CMS Media Center Blog please email me hingers@clarke.k12.ga.us


I think in the future we will host a book club via the blog. What do you guys think?
