I'm Here

Here I am on the beach this morning.
I miss you guys.
Hope it's going ok with the sub.

Tuesday

I'm busy getting ready for my trip.
I just put in the book order.
Tomorrow I will take all entries to the library to be submitted for the Poetry Contest.
I will work on putting updates on here when I am gone....so you won't miss me TOO much!

Mark Twain

I was reading a student's biography report today on Mark Twain.

This student put a famous quote in that Mark Twain said:

A person who WON'T read has NO advantage over one who CAN'T read!

POWERFUL!!!

It is SO TRUE!

We feel so badly for the people who are illiterate, but that that WON'T read....we should feel just as badly for them!

Showing Vs. Telling

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~Anton Chekhov

Check Out This Site

I just bought House Of Dark Shadows at the book fair last week.

I decided to check out the website for the author.

It's pretty cool! http://www.robertliparulo.com/

OK...give it a try

OK...I have set up some groups on our IMBEE.
SO, I think we should be close to getting this up and running.
Let's see if we can figure this out over the weekend.
Next week will be a busy one for me with conferences, so this weekend I will be trying to get a lot of stuff done. (including figuring out our IMBEE!)
HELP ME GANG!
Hope to talk to you this weekend.

Start Again

Sorry about the failure of THE NING!!
I know we were having fun there...and I would like to see our IMBEE place be just as cool!

Tell me how it's going on there?

Let's make a point of trying to go there more often!

How about it?

This is where you need to post your reflection on the biography/autobiography book that you've read!
