Thank you for sharing these terrific ideas. We can't wait to read your posts and learn as you implement these strategies with readers.

This has always been on my list of things to do as well, but time is my restraining force! I'd love to share ideas of what to include on a similar website while thinking about why it is included! I feel at times I should include everything, but in reality, it can be too overwhelming and is it serving my bottom line? (That quote stuck with me too!) I think what you like about your weebly site is that some is public and some is private. Were you thinking the student work and recommendations would be private? Hmmm... just thinking out loud here. I'm having many conversations about supporting parents. Do we, as a community, create an online community resource for parents?<br /><br /><br /><br />I can't wait to hear more about your reading clubs and how you are rethinking grouping. I think this is an important connection that we need to make -- that what happens in my room needs to transfer to the classroom and vise versa. Again, working more closely with teachers is important. <br /><br /><br />And your Pinterest boards of book categories is a fabulous resource! Thanks for sharing!! <br />MichelleMichelle Neronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-89947120501060168092014-07-16T20:51:16.202-04:002014-07-16T20:51:16.202-04:00My colleague and I have tossed around the idea of ...My colleague and I have tossed around the idea of putting together a website or newsletter to update parents, but we've never actually gotten it put together. One day we keep saying! <br />I read the book The Reader by Amy Hest this week and I thought it was a perfect picture book to use with young readers to talk to them about what being a reader means. I got it from the library but then ordered it because it's one I want to use over and over!Michele Knottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-4482571845050436492014-07-16T18:29:30.994-04:002014-07-16T18:29:30.994-04:00Really like your idea of using the "hub"...Really like your idea of using the "hub" to get parents to buy-in to the reading and discussions happening in your room. I feel like that might be a good solution to help head off the "what books does my child need to read" kinds of anxious list-checking questions I often get from parents and to nurture something more meaningful.Katie @ the Logonautshttp://www.thelogonauts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-64763871435522911022014-07-16T16:43:08.728-04:002014-07-16T16:43:08.728-04:00One picture I love is the story of Two Bobbies by ...One picture I love is the story of Two Bobbies by Kirby Larson, about the community building after Hurricane Katrina. I love the idea of your expansion of the reading Hub-sounds good. One thing our school does do is foster a great buddy program. Everyone is either an older or a younger buddy & they meet weekly. I hope I'll be able to persuade the classes to share their reading lives with each other sometimes during that time. Sharing all you can about your own reading will be helpful too, like your shelf outside your door. Thanks for the video link from Tammy. I'll be sure to look for it, Cathy.

I am thinking of a "mother-daughter" evening book club. I think it would be great fun! We could read books together, discuss them, have snacks related to the book, maybe do a quick activity. I'm excited about it. Hopefully the teacher contract will settle easily and early so this idea doesn't get eaten up by job action. Thanks for the lists of books too!lisam0451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-32724546240972320022014-07-16T12:24:42.554-04:002014-07-16T12:24:42.554-04:00The Wilhelm quote stuck out for me too, in fact, I...The Wilhelm quote stuck out for me too, in fact, I wrote it in my notebook that I'm using for my new College Prep Lit class.

It is a great reminder that we all have a role to play in building reading communities and the fact that we can never have too many reading communities!Erikahttp://www.msvictorreads.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
