Come Join Us

Last week, one of the conversations I was a part of involved coming up with ideas that might help teachers remember that they have a life outside of school. One idea is a teacher's book club. Each month we will choose one book that we can all read together. Since our schedules may prohibit all of us getting together for an actual book club meeting, we thought we'd share our thoughts here on this blog.

To start, we need to choose a book for September (we can always read more than one a month, but it's a good place to start). Please vote in the poll here (links for book descriptions follow):

• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
• The Help by Kathryn Stockett
• Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
• House Rules by Jodi Picoult
• Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
• Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
• The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt

The poll closes Friday, August 27th. Thank you!
