Reading list - 2 Down.

I have a reading list a mile long this summer. Two weeks in and I've read 2 of those books. The first was Dan Brown's Inferno which I thought was great.  I liked the pacing of the book, the plot and the twists.  It is definitely in the top of my favorites by this author.




The second book that I read was: The Daily 5 which fosters literacy independence in the elementary grades.  It is written by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser.  I found it to be very enjoyable and eye opening.    Starting a new grade level, I wanted to retrain my brain as well as refresh my approach.  Thisbook definitely gave me perspective on my current approach and areas that I would like to revise.  I think that I would like to try the Daily 5 in my classroom once the students are to the point where they can do it!
