		<title>Would I be interested in helping arrange Young Adult books?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Need you ask twice? Not only would I love to put my hands on new YA books, I&#8217;ll even have it done in time for the Walking Tour! A local bookstore and I are going to put our heads together-much fun!
This is perfect timing as I get ready to head to NCTE-ALAN two weekends from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bestbookihavenotread.wordpress.com&blog=4456306&post=2927&subd=bestbookihavenotread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Where to get book suggestions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I posted about a Hornbook editorial. If you aren&#8217;t familiar with that gem of a magazine, go over to HERE and check it out. There are many things I love about Hornbook-the book reviews, the articles, the editor&#8217;s editorials and blog Roger Reads (and rants!)
If you are starting to think about books to buy [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bestbookihavenotread.wordpress.com&blog=4456306&post=2915&subd=bestbookihavenotread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Meet Scaredy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you aren&#8217;t familiar with Scaredy Squirrel, you need to make his acquaintance.  Check out my new Scaredy Squirrel puppet! I LOVE him. Now if I could only figure out how to make him wearable to perch on my shoulder like a parrot. I would love to walk around with my pal Scaredy on classroom [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bestbookihavenotread.wordpress.com&blog=4456306&post=2923&subd=bestbookihavenotread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Shouldn&#8217;t we be outside hiking?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beautiful Sunny, Sunday afternoon in Ohio
husband-&#8221;What are you doing?&#8221; (asked hopefully?)
wife-&#8221;Trying to wrestle rTI law into submission for the school district&#8221; (sipping coffee and still wearing PJs)
husband-&#8221;Wrestling who?!&#8221;
wife-&#8221;Wrestling rTI into submission for school&#8221;
husband-&#8221;I have no idea what that means, but it&#8217;s better than what I thought you said you are doing. I guess I&#8217;ll go [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bestbookihavenotread.wordpress.com&blog=4456306&post=2921&subd=bestbookihavenotread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Trouble is what keeps things interesting&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t find a link to article but I found this editorial from Hornbook fascinating. I regularly hear people say that they don&#8217;t want kids to read &#8220;sad&#8221; books or &#8220;hard&#8221; books. I love this take on trouble and why we need it in books&#8230;
From the Editor of Hornbook
&#8220;You think your kids are trouble? Have a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bestbookihavenotread.wordpress.com&blog=4456306&post=2756&subd=bestbookihavenotread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Week Flies By</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve had three weeks where our landline would not work.
My husband took time off Monday for them to come and fix it.
They didn&#8217;t show up.
They had called that morning and left a message on our dead landline. Duh!
They arrive Tuesday night to fix it.
The phone now works.
The internet only does when it feels like it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bestbookihavenotread.wordpress.com&blog=4456306&post=2900&subd=bestbookihavenotread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I miss Viola Swamp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of many things I miss about being a classroom teacher is the week leading up to the Halloween party. My fourth grade colleagues and I would &#8220;transform&#8221; slowly over the week into the character Viola Swamp. It started with one fingernail being painted black. Then another. Perhaps the whole hand was the second day.

		<title>An Amazing Experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I should get out a thesaurus and include all the words for amazing that are listed, but my brain is tired and my life is busy.
The school visit to PS 41 was better than my wildest expectations. I will add photos and post more about it later this week. TCRWP Fall Reunion was also top-notch.
