I've just got to share the good stuff I read.

I love to read. I read every chance I get. If I read something really good, I want to share it with my friends and co-workers. I make copies of magazine articles, read aloud to my students, tell others about good books I'm reading, and keep a book with me at all times.

I love teaching and learning new things. I need a place to share some of the lessons and what my students and I learn. Since my teaching situation is different from everyone else's in my school, I would like to tell all of you in the blog-o-sphere about these great lessons.

Feel free to share what you are reading, teaching and learning with us in the comments.

Reading update

It has been some months since I updated my reading list.
I have started keeping a list in a notebook because I realized 
I was not keeping an accurate record with photos. 

My most recent selections are below.
The two paperbacks are new YA titles.
I'm reading them before giving them to Liam & David.

Last Saturday Mr. M and I went to the Dixon Gardens & Gallery.
The tulips were in full bloom and it was a great day for wandering around the gardens.


The jonquils were fading but other flowers were putting on their best show.


In the gallery we saw a new exhibit by two artists.


I liked the realistic paintings more than the abstract ones.


It was interesting to read how the artist painted his still life pieces.


One of my favorite spring flowers.


I had to include this photo of David. 
He is waiting to begin playing with a mass of student violinists.
Gran brag alert- David was chosen to take a special violin class with three other students.
He is a very musical kid and I am proud of him.




Liam's piano skills are advancing.
Sticking with practice as a student gets into middle school is challenging.
So many activities compete for attention. 

Brag time over.
