Summer Online Book Study…

I am sponsoring an online book study for the summer…I have a few reasons for doing this…


  • As an educational specialist candidate, leadership opportunities don’t always need to present themselves,  they should be created and declared :)
  • 21st Century learning encourages us to connect to others and engage in global professional learning communities
  • As a National Board Certified Teacher of literacy (who is now in the 5 years before re-certification) that makes me a teacher leader.

I have purchased three titles from Amazon Notice and Note (recommedation from the inspirational Jen Jones from HelloLiteracy); The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller and Daily 5 2nd Edition from the 2 Sisters. 

Daily 5, The (Second Edition): Fostering Literacy in the Elementary Grades

I don’t plan to start until after my school lets out.  I do plan to do all three books this summer and upcoming school year, but will do them in the order of request.  Basically, the one that is requested the most will be first and so on and so forth.  If you are interested, I would like to have at least 5-10 participants.  I will create a schedule for the summer and incorporate different technology platforms for us to converse about the book.  Please check with your principals because you may be able to count this toward Professional Development credit. 



If you would like to participate, fill out this google form.






This will submit your information to me privately.  I look forward to making this happen and meeting some new teacher bloggers!!!
