__Comprehension Connections:Bridges to Strategic Reading__ by Tanny McGregor : Diane Westfall (Diane W. - are you the good girl who is reading professionally? Please sign your name so we know who's reading what. And what is this book about? Is it worth your vacation time? ...just kidding!! Charlotte)

Yes :), this is me...surprise, surprise. This is one of the best professional books I've read in a long time. It has great lesson ideas to help connect the very abstract comprehension ideas we try to teach children to a very concrete experience. I can't wait to try them out next year. I would also like to add I did read a novel on vacation at the beach...not worth reccomending...sorry.

__Please Stop Laughing at Me__... By Jodee Blanco This book is about bullying. Jodee is a survivor and speaker about bullying in the schools. The other children started bullying her in 4th grade and it never stopped. I found this book inspiring because of who she became and yet horrible at how humans can treat one another at the same time. Definitely worth a read. (Hey, Pam. Thanks for joining us. Please sign your name to all entries so we know who's talking. Thanks. Charlotte)
