Ten on Tuesday--- Rockstar Readers!



Today is 10 on Tuesday!

Our school started a new program yesterday...ROCKSTAR READERS!
For every 5 books the students read, they get a big 8"x11" star to write the titles on and it goes up on a wall in the hallway by the BIG WOODEN ROCKSTAR.
The goal is for the children to read 100 books.

Teachers, too!

So...for 10 on Tuesday I decided to list 10 books I'd like to read.

1. What Southern Women Know About Faith


2. The Shadow of Your Smile-Mary Higgins Clark


3. Life is Just What You Make of It--Donny Osmond



4. The Husband--Dean Koontz



5. Don't Say I Didn't Warn You--Anita Renfroe



6. Bless Your Heart, Tramp!--Celia Rivenbark


7. We're Just Like You Only Prettier--Celia Rivenbark


8. Might As Well Laugh About It Now--Marie Osmond



9.Do the Right Thing--Mike Huckabee (I have this one, even got it autographed, but haven't read it yet.)


10. Goldilicious--Victoria Kann


So....looks like I need to find some a quiet spot and some extra time, and get busy, huh?

Ambitious list! I am slogging my way through the complete works of Charles Dickens. Volume 2, right now, Martin Chuzzlewit. Though someone just recommended I read "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" so I might try and pick that up.

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
