July Reads

My summer reading slowed down a bit in July. Here you go.
This one was so-so for me.

This book surprised me. I had no idea it was a graphic novel.

I really enjoyed this read. There's speculation that there might have been a woman pope back in the day.

This is a helpful read for those looking to know more about guided math.

This book was great. I feel like I can use literature in a more authentic mathematical way now.

Here's one I hope to put into use once I have a classroom full of little readers. I believe it will come in very handy.

I really didn't like this book. Sorry.

This book had its ups and downs, but overall I liked it.

I've come to really enjoy WWII historical fiction, and this book, though at times intense, did not disappoint.

    I own El Deafo (it's on the list for my student book club this year) and did not know it was a graphic novel! I love how you share what you are reading. :)

      Miss Trayers, yep surprised me too. By the way, there is one swear word in it.

      Barbara, lousy books are so frustrating. I don't have enough time for lousy books! :)

    I absolutely loved the Judy Blume book. It's one of those that stays with you for awhile. My parents both grew up close to that area so it hit a little close to home for me.

      Pam, I was surprised to read that the crashes were based on truth. I can see how it hit you close to home.

    I just bought Reading Strategies, but it hasn't come yet. I can't wait. I need to do a post on my summer reads. I had some good ones! Sara

    I started Reading Strategies and am liking it! Lots of good lessons that I can use this year. I like that she included visuals!

      Lori, I like the visuals too. Maybe someone needs to write a book of just top-notch visuals! :)
