I don't know how some of y'all do it running super awesome programs and blogging and IGing and sort of semi side business self promoting. It's overwhelmed me the last couple years and I don't even have kids. There will be a lot of revamping, though, for distance learning. We know we are doing that for the first three weeks and that is all we know. Hence my organizational binge (just wait, more pictures to come) trying to control what I can. Hello dumb ol' anxiety.

*taps on mic to Internet* "Is this thing on?"<br />
<br />
So. I started this blog when I came back from the BYU Books for Young Readers symposium TEN YEARS AGO. And funny that this is the first year I've been able to experience it again. They went virtual because, well ... you know.<br />
<br />
If you're on IG you've seen these. So far it's been SO FUN. Kate DiCamillo's keynote was awesome and so was Guy Francis'. Then they also have posted booktalks and a little tour of the Provo Library's Attic gallery space.<br />

Tomorrow they will release Candace Fleming's presentation.<br />
You can <a href="https://bfyr.byu.edu/schedule" target="_blank">see the schedule</a> here at this link. It's not free but it's SO worth it. And you'll hear about the books in the booktalks because I am looking for them! They mentioned some new ones I didn't know! Had a couple years there with no budget. Y'all that have dealt with that for a long time ... power to you. It's hard.<br />
<br />
When they can meet in real life it's in Provo, UT. This is yet another reason I know I'm old cause this was run down and abandoned when I was in college in the area. I remember my humanities class offered a guided tour at the time and they talked about Philo Farnsworth testing there. That was back <a href="http://www.byhigh.org/History/Farnsworth/PhiloT1924.html" target="_blank">when it was the BY Academy</a> and even more years ago than my college residency!<br />
They obviously put in a lot of restoration effort. The pic will take you to their website.<br />

So. Last year I spent a lot of time sick. Like ... a lot. Coughing and coughing and coughing and fever and pneumonia. And that was before the world went crazy and we had ever heard of this novel virus. Here's hoping to more interesting and worthy of posting content in the year ahead. Will probably still be more on IG but I'll be here, too. Reflection is good for the craft, right?<br />
<br />
We're starting our year with 3 weeks of remote instruction. They finally finished off the walls over spring break so going back next week will really be the first time (I popped in a couple times over the spring quarantine but never spent more than an hour or two) I've been there. It's ironic that we have less ventilation NOW (no windows, center of the school, and the HVAC leaked for years) but you know. Whatever. The construction on my commute has made a lot of progress. Still a long drive but not quite as slow.<br />

Crazy or calm? I had to borrow the nurse's office for a nebulizer treatment since I don't have an office and I didn't want kiddos walking in wondering what on earth Ms. O was doing. DUMB ALLERGIES. Before the last year or two <i>I </i>wouldn't have known what I was doing. Anyway.<br />
<br />
I hope ... internet, if you have never received an email like this, know that I see you. I hear you. It has been quite some time since anything like this was ever heard on my campus. That's why I had to share it. It might take a while. A good, loooooooooooooooooooong while. But eventually it comes.

I'm getting a little ... over the "girls don't like Star Wars" "kids don't like Star Wars" thing. Had several interactions the past week and I really am OVER IT.<br />
<br />
1) Many of them DO in fact like Star Wars.<br />
<br />
2) You know what? They don't have to. That's not really why I have some signs and I share things in the library. It's because it's part of me and the kids see that and they appreciate THAT, even if they don't happen to love Star Wars and prefer My Little Pony or Five Nights at Freddys. They connect that their teacher librarian has a passion and they know what it is. They draw me pictures and tell me about when they watched the movies with their families.<br />
<br />
Take down the Rey that is in the window (specifically BECAUSE people stand right there and hold loud discussions and the walls don't go all the way up to the ceiling and we can hear every word so yes. She is looking at you). Don't have a cutesy Yoda doodle they color after finishing tasks on a Read You Must promo. Argh.<br />
<br />
They also know I love Harry Potter. And Mo Willems. And them.<br />
<br />

Made me cry. Again, on a year when I haven’t felt well physically and have been totally overwhelmed (this no assistant thing is no fun guys ... how do you do it? There’s no time for anything but check out and that is kind of boring! Not even time for reader’s advisory! Plus teachers are less willing to come in anymore because I am less able to be flexible with time. Then other things have been made WAY more difficult than necessary on our campus. But I digress). On a year like that? Kids are still fun.</a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/msoreadsbooks/" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;" target="_blank"> Angie Oliverson</a> (@msoreadsbooks) on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2018-05-16T12:46:16+00:00">May 16, 2018 at 5:46am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote> <script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's (almost) Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at <a href="http://bookdate.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Book Date</a>. It is a great way to recap what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week. It's also a great chance to see what others are reading right now… who knows, you might discover that next “must read” book!<br /><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Our Kid Lit to YA version is hosted by </span><a href="http://www.teachmentortexts.com/" style="color: #b6b84f; line-height: 18.48px; text-decoration: none;">Teach Mentor Texts</a><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"> and </span><a href="http://www.unleashingreaders.com/" style="color: #b6b84f; line-height: 18.48px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Unleashing Readers</a><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">.</span></span><br />

That's some of them from this summer. It almost feels cheesy to have enjoyed Atomic Habits so much (FICTION FOREVER!!!!) but it was so good. 132 Kindle highlights gives you an idea.</div>

Winterhouse #1 has some issues but ... I still really want to know what happens next so I need to find book 2.<br />
<br />
Archimancy is brand new I feel kind of the same ... it has a few, to steal a phrase from the Deck the Hallmark podcast WAIT WHATS but still, on the whole, I REALLY want to know what happens next. I got to read an early copy from Netgalley or Edelweiss. One of the two. So it will be a while before the next one is done. The Thickety was super fun. Archimancy I think could be read by younger kiddos than The Thickety.<br />
<br />
Any time there is a Bruce book I am there! I sent the new board book to my nephew but he lives far away so I haven't seen it. :(<br />
<br />
We Are the Gardners is lovely ... but do kids like it?<br />
<br />
You can see more specifics on other titles on Goodreads. Hopefully I am back in the saddle. Seriously, I started blogging forever ago and that was what it was for. To document my books!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I go back on contract. Kids don't go back to school until the 19th but we go tomorrow. So my two focuses will be the audio that FINALLY came back in (it ran out last time before I finished it!)<br />

No pretty sketchnotes here. Really, next time, sign up for the #DITCHSUMMIT!!!!! The teacher wellness topic was really helpful. It IS for kids because if the teacher is at their best they can do more for the kids.<br />
<br />
<br />
Digital Detoxing with Merve Lapus<br />
I like that he framed it more in a keep this time sacred. Cause this is something I've totally struggled with (taking it AWAY) and framing it as keeping time safe (with people I love and time to myself and keeping my brain quiet!) and protected just feels better. Professional development on our time definitely happens. Going to the gym? Not so much. Need to get that back. I definitely go to sleep before 1AM, though. I can't function AT ALL on that little sleep.<br />
<br />
<br />
Crystal Chavez<br />
It's really interesting ... she talks about a time when she had a very supportive team at her school. I miss that. Sometimes being the only one ... I dunno. We have to be mindful, teacher librarians, and make the effort to reach out. As an introvert when things start going sideways at school I draw in and that doesn't solve anything. Good thing I've always had my family.<br />
<br />
She also talked about attaching habits together to get them going (or, if you've read <i>Atomic Habits</i> ... HABIT STACKING).<br />
<br />
<br />
Dan Tricarico<br />
I've got his book <i>Sanctuaries</i>. I still need to finish it (I am very slow with books I actually buy, how weird is that, even when it's really GOOD! No due date so no pressure). He also just started a podcast and it's worth a listen. Give yourself permission to take a couple moments for you. He's also worth a follow on Instagram. Intentionality and breathe through the impulse to grab your phone. Silence and stillness. Space. Subtraction (create MARGINS). Slowing down.<br />
<br />
<br />
Kim Strobel<br />
Boy Howdy ... this one spoke to me. Don't want to be all grumpy but the last couple years have been ... well, grumpy at school. Less than the fun it used to be. I missed getting to see her at the Google thing this past spring (more school grumpiness ... they were lame about my registration!) so this hour was helpful. Forty percent within our control. I've heard that before. That I can't let what other people might think affect me (you'll never please everyone, right?). So it's just something I'm still working on. Being solid in my own practices and doing my best for the kids with what I CAN do ... and letting the rest go. Embracing a practice of gratitude is super important.<br />

Personal and teacher branding ... due to our district survey last spring ... at least I am faking it better for the kids than I might be for the adults in the room. THEY had nice things to say, as often as I might slip in other places and seem grumpy in front of you all. It's a balance between being grumpy/negative and being honest/real. They aren't the same thing. I just try to figure things out here. Matt Miller talked about a book (if he mentioned the title I missed it) about the astronauts and disconnecting the thoughts of failure in your head and that totally reminded me of Angela Watson's podcast this week. TELL THE RIGHT STORY. I struggle with that. For the love. I'd forgotten about a super rudeness but then saw an IG post and remembered and now it's fresh all over. Better to forget. And GO BEYOND THE LIKE and make real connections. That is super cool. I have really DMed / emailed several people from here and IG and that is fun! I mean, real life is still the best way but Internet Friends, you are cool, too! If you are actually reading this you know a fair bit about me.<br />
<br />
Matt Miller also talked about the book Digital Minimalism which I actually have on my Kindle but haven't read yet. It's ON THE LIST!<br />

So I liked his presentation more than I liked his book Run Like a Pirate ... it rubbed me a little bit the wrong way just because of some health issues but that is a personal reader problem, for you it might be just the ticket to get you out the door and on the road!!!! And I did really enjoy Kids Deserve It. Eliminate and streamline. What is the MOST important. Empower everyone.<br />

Only one Spark image. Oh well. Happier with this one than the others. So picky. :P<br />

So needed. Again, I can't really give you the lowdown, I am not eloquent and I'm out of the blogging habit. You need to watch it! (I <i>think</i> you can still sign up? Not sure. Google Ditch Summit 2019 and check. Burned In Teacher said on her stories that she had checked and it was a yes). The main thing is what people need? A safe place to land. Sharing mindfulness doesn't take away from classroom instruction time because the kids (and staff) are actually THERE. Distracted and disconnected? A huge reason why the last years have not felt as awesome as the years previous. For me, anyway. Just trying to figure it out.<br />

Dr. Sheldon Eakins works in all sorts of ways for equity digitally and on a tribal school outside of Pocatello, Idaho. I'm sure he did experience some ... culture shock isn't exactly the right word but it's all I can come up with, at 0.8%, as lovely as the area is (I'm pretty familiar with at least a hundred or so miles away where my grandparents lived). I'm not a teacher of color and it was "still" an interesting presentation. Retreat and recharge ... and then go back it. Take care of yourself and then go back at it. That's what he said. He talked about black families having "the talk" and that made me sad, especially after just having finished <i>Ghost Boys</i>.<br />

This might be one of the hardest kid’s fiction books I've ever read.<br />
And I'm not really any closer to knowing what to do with it next year. It needs to be shared with lots of kids ... but it needs context and discussion. So many of them will just see the word "ghost" and think "ooh, scary story" and then the actual topic will be so NOT what they are expecting.<br />
<br />
It was also hard to read because I have a brother in law enforcement. I guess that is exactly it, though. So many people have dealt with prejudice for nothing but what they look like. I don't want people to think my brother thinks terrible things because of a uniform he puts on. They don't want their kids to be hurt because of the color of their skin.

What better way to return to the blog world than a post about a teacher wellness online summit. It's a topic that has affected me a lot the last while. The better served the teachers are the better they can help the kids, you know? To repeat an overused phrase ... Put on your own oxygen mask first.<br />
<br />
But you know what? It's true.<br />
<br />
The first video I watched was by Brad Montague. He is pretty awesome and much of the voice behind Kid President. He talked about so many different things but I guess the main things I will take away from it are 1) it's OK to say no (you go Eric Carle!) and 2) to a kid simple is what they need. They don't need huge. Which makes filling their expectations and needs much easier. He says it all much more eloquently. Go watch KP's Pep Talk. 44 million views and counting. I've never seen him anywhere else. Have you? That's not the only thing he's ever done.<br />

The next video I watched was Amber Harper of Burned In Teacher. I listen to her podcast and participated in her small group last spring so I was already familiar with a lot of her work. Having the hard conversations ... it's not the same thing as venting. It's looking for help and for fixes and action. If all you do is ever vent you will burn out ... and drive yourself into a dark place for sure away from education and also in terms of emotional/physical/mental health. But look for action? For real feedback? That's where you'll find your own power and be able to do the most good.<br />

I have taken her quiz. A little bit of all of them. Burned and Over It ... obviously not over because I'm still trying. But definitely don't have the same rosy glasses I used to. My campus has been through a lot of changes the past couple of years and everyone acts differently. Burned and Unbalanced was definitely me a couple years ago. I definitely used to take on WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more and freak out if it wasn't perfect. Health issues have stopped much of that. Burned and Bored ... definitely. My job has changed a lot the last several years. That's one reason I don't post as much. I don't feel like I have as much interesting to share. I do a lot more that feels mundane. But I'm working on it, Internet. Your best imperfect step is better than nothing. It's still a spark.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
More to come tomorrow. There's still another video to watch today (Roni Habib) and then tomorrow's. I know Dan Tricarico is one of them (The Zen Teacher).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been reading. Check out Goodreads and Instagram for some of that ... a mix of picture, middle grade, YA, adult fic, and some PD/personal growth.<br />

It's been going off a lot ever since the PE incident but was even higher this AM. Chill out, Ms. O. And thank goodness for a co-presenter who had her laptop. Yesterday's dismissal was so ... <b>interesting</b> that I ran out and didn't look back. Completely slipped my brain that was pounding from the decibels.<br />

2) This one ended way early but no one seemed to mind. So I guess I won't stress that I talked too fast and ours ended early?<br />
<br />
3) The SA Convention Center is SUPER CONFUSING. And so big. Got my steps in today and I feel like I did a lot of sitting.<br />
<br />
4) I should probably try talking to more people. I feel awkward so I don't.<br />
<br />
5) Saw a pretty cool presentation on AR/VR/MR. Sort of reignited the interest and then I was like "but no one will ever do it" and "who has the time when there are books to check in/out." I even have five iTouches that were supposed to be for Google Expeditions but surprise! Blocked by our district filter. And sadly the ViewMaster ones are kind of hard for the kids to navigate?<br />
<br />
6) For a ___ year old I still find stickers pretty fun. This presentation was ... well, the connection was lame and it threw her off. I didn't really learn anything but maybe one extension. Though in some ways that is kind of nice because it affirms maybe I know more than I give myself credit for?<br />

7) I left at that point. Had gotten my sense of direction confused in the center too many times (and then actually lost my car in the garage for a good 10 minutes and it was so hot and muggy wandering around in there) and TRAFFIC.<br />
<br />
<br />
That fifth one is the one that concerns me the most, and why I put up with the first one even when most of it was theoretical and I haven't been able to get anyone to TRY said activities with me. They are just ideas. The last couple of years ... it's been harder and harder. Y'all that do it all with no assistants ... I can't keep up! I don't know if the stress of wanting to do more with the kids and feeling totally stifled by what feels like total non-support. With some actual examples that shows those feelings are not all in my head. And hating all the times I have to say "I can't help" because I have another class or the dumb checkout system is being ridiculous. All anyone wants or has time to do is checkout. And visits on passes are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY down. Every year since I started tracking. Or health struggles that mean I can only do what I can only do.<br />
<br />
I still need to post about the teacher self care conference last week. That was actually pretty cool. Or some books I've been reading. I haven't given up reading entirely, as the blog would make it look. I just tend to start a lot and never get around to finishing. Plus I've still got two more days here to see/hear more and figure out my own twist if I want to post about them (because straight up recaps you can get from their handouts, right?). But anymore I require a full 8+ hours of sleep to function and we're already too late for the + so goodnight.<br />

The trailer doesn't do the book justice but it's a start. And it's for the Australian Hachette release date.<br />
<br />
So have I mentioned before how much I loved <i>Nevermoor</i>? I don't know, it's been so long since I really blogged. But I loved that book. REALLY loved the audio. A little lunchtime audiobook club with some fifth graders has been the daily high point of a hard year. The narrator does such a good job of differentiating all of the different characters and the world building, guys. The world building in this story ... it's amazing. Some compare it to Harry Potter but that's just because it's got the basic archetypes in there. But seriously ... so much to mentally imagine. I read somewhere that it had a movie option before the first book ever released ... but no news since. Movies based on books are hard balances. Books are almost always better but BOY HOWDY it would be cool to see some of this truly up on the big screen. I WANT, WANT, WANT.<br />
<br />
<br />
Book two <i>Wundersmith The Calling of Morrigan Crow</i> finally released in the US last Tuesday (still waiting on the audio). I went ahead and read it because I was dying to see what would happen next but you can bet I have been checking Audible like every other day just to see when I can finally get that version. Screamed out loud when I saw our district already had book two on pre-order for Overdrive/Sora. I'll still buy it but I'm excited for all the kids. It's a longer one ... similar to Harry Potter. A lot of my students don't stick with books that long anymore ... so it's been fun to see the little book club (it's only 6 kids) get excited about this story. I've talked about the series enough a couple other kids have talked their parents into buying them copies. And our one library copy is always checked out ... but so far no one else has actually finished it. Stamina. I want it for them but you can't force it, you know?<br />
<br />
Anyway, between the breaks (we voted and even though I did actually try pushing <i>Lockwood & Co. The Screaming Staircase</i> pretty hard ... they really wanted to wait for book two the <i>Wundersmith</i>) the little book club is going to work on a little project showcasing <i>Nevermoor</i>. We'll see how it works out.<br />
<br />
<br />
We'll see what else I finish this week. My trainer has me reading <i>Eat Dirt</i>. That sounds fun, doesn't it, right at the beginning of the holidays. Ugh with a CAPITAL U. But stamping my feet in denial doesn't deny the fact that check, check, check pretty much all the issues they talk about are what I've been experiencing. But who wants to totally relearn how to eat? I like pasta. I like bread. I like dairy. I like sugar. But I don't like feeling rotten. Conundrum.<br />

<br />
I've missed you! I miss blogging when I had good ideas.<br />
<br />
Some things have gone well.<br />
<br />
Fifth grade used Seesaw to start making sort of like Reading Rainbow type booktalk videos. The hope is they will, about once a month, make more and comment on friends. To sort of build a reading community and practice talking about books and find new titles? We were going to use Flipgrid but since our district bought Seesaw for two years we figured we should try that. I loved them. That was awesome chaos.<br />
<br />
If you are on IG and saw <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzuU__n0iG/?taken-by=msoreadsbooks" target="_blank">my post</a> ... I love the book <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Grumpy-Monkey-Suzanne-Lang-ebook/dp/B0776HS62B/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1538782945&sr=8-1&keywords=grumpy+monkey" target="_blank">Grumpy Monkey</a></i>.<br />
<br />
I made some <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1chRY-KJzNBsofum-TOy-vM_ew4hsFv44/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Batty for Books bookmarks</a> with an image from <a href="https://edu-clips.com/" target="_blank">Educlips</a>. I have so many Halloween images I could go super crazy if I had the inspiration. Her image is cute. The phrase Batty for Books is not super creative but kids like them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I took a personal day today. Initially it was totally for catching up on doc calls and cleaning but ended up being more about self care and sleep. But then I don't know if it was allergies or a cold ... one or the other. Or if it was the need for self-care manifesting itself physically again. Rotten sore throat and cough and voice. So anyway. Twelve hours last night plus a nap.<br />
<br />
Internet, I'm not sure how much longer I will be doing this. I've loved this job for so long but it is affecting my health so negatively anymore I don't know what else to do. Had to go into counseling ("Therapy is cool"<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mindfulcounseling/" target="_blank">?</a>) and she has suggested I think about leaving because so much of what I mention is just out of my control. I love when kids get excited about books. I love when kids get excited about learning. I love when kids get excited about tech. But the job I'm in now is not the same one I had five years ago. (Same place ... just not the same.)<br />
<br />
1) I'm highly allergic to mold. A leaky ceiling for years? Second week of school a worker showed me a pic of inside our ceiling. Black and green all down a beam about 60 feet in length. Right next to the HVAC vents. He was arguing with someone on the phone about not passing this off. Can I get a straight answer since then? No. I'm the only one in the room all the time. Everyone else pops in and out. But a body constantly on the alert? Not helpful.<br />
<br />
2) My whole body hurts. Like I feel beat up most of the time and I am 44. That is ... that's not super old. It's really not. I used to do half marathons. I wasn't fast but I did them. Now I need 9+ hours of sleep a day and am still yawning and dragging and I can hardly finish a book. Stress has taken that from me. I literally ... I came back to school and by about 4 days later could barely walk. People noticed and it was mortifying. Eased up a bit after a week or two but was so painful. Was that inhaling all the mold again after a summer away? I felt so much better this summer, guys, it wasn't even funny. I still needed a lot of sleep but the body pain and forgetfulness and fuzzy head ... it was better over the summer. I started to feel like me again. But they are not DOING anything about it. Air quality people claim there is not enough of a problem.<br />
<br />
3) The negativity. And here I am contributing. I isolated myself from staff last year when I lost my assistant and couldn't ever get out of the library like even for lunch. I tried this year and ended up sitting by myself as they take chairs and move them to other tables. Or making me wish I was sitting by myself for the mean conversations I overheard.<br />
<br />
4) I don't know anymore if it's my expectations or theirs but in the end ... it's what I want. My expectations are my expectations. Y'all that have been going without assistants for years and years and still manage a smile and to make it look easy ... HOW? It is SO HARD. Being stuck at the checkout desk is boring. Self checkout is not fun and it doesn't work. They are kids. YOUNG kids. If the staff can't deal with it how are kids going to? I don't understand why there are so many issues (is it our dumb network? I swear if we get the white no internet screen one more time I will scream!) I am always having to run over there to fix issues. Always. Always. Always. Always. Very very very few staff have bothered to learn how to check in or out books and even with them there are so many problems and I still have to run over there all the time. I want to be in a library where I'm out helping kids find books and teaching lessons and an awesome assistant runs the checkout. And the awesome assistant can help kids when I am busy with a class so that I don't have to stop and repeat seven times "I have a class, if you can't follow the self checkout poster you'll have to come back later." Is there such a place anymore?<br />
<br />
5) Teachers don't send down their books. I send cheery reminders a couple times via instant messages throughout the day (because I know they are not sitting at their computers. I KNOW THAT) and still nothing. Or the class walks in with books and thinks I can check in books, help them find books, and help kids check out books all at the same time? Or they don't come and then want to reschedule? I know they are overwhelmed, too. But I can't go around to every class and I can't get student helpers so ...<br />
<br />
6) The counselor thinks that this constant need to prove ourselves and tell the library story and reach every kid can be kind of damaging. That maybe I've internalized it too far. That is possible. Heaven knows I say "I am ONE person" enough times in a day. I should remember it myself. But there are so many kids.<br />
<br />
<br />
Grumpy post out. I'll be too embarrassed to come back to the blog for a while now.<br />
<br />

So I actually finished a few books last week, even with the family in town middle to end of the week. With that many people I pulled out for a bit each day just to get some quiet time. I'm a little sad now that I did that since it was a short visit and they are all gone now. But anyway.<br />

Stuck to the Kindle. Need to get the hard copies started! Well, except for <i>We Don't Eat our Classmates</i>. That was a hard copy. Too funny. Bruce books are still my favorite but will enjoy reading it to classes next fall. I shared it with my niece Penelope as she was here visiting. And she is about to have a little brother likely to be named Walter. We thought that was funny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Beyond the Bright Sea</i>. Interesting. I didn't want to throw it across the room like I did Wolf Hollow. That book made me ANGRY and SAD! Emotional reactions ... that is a sign of good writing, right? Even if they aren't particularly positive? Lauren Wolk can write so beautifully. I can appreciate the beauty. But I really wasn't sure how many stars I wanted to give it. Like four-five four literary quality but flat out me liking it? Not as many. Is that fair?</div>

I have been on a PD book kick and I find that ... odd and refreshing. Like after the black hole (see the other book, apparently) that was last year to have even a smidgen of caring again ... it's fun! Like there are so many good ideas I will save much of a review for their own blog posts. I'm not impressed with how much advertising was at the end of each of these books (10-12%) but the content that was there had some really good things to say. Hopefully not just because I was coming from such a blah place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes. Blah place. Ugh. Moving on cause I'm not good at writing about how to overcome that yet! I missed my workouts 3 days last week because of all the visitors and then this morning because of lab appts. so tomorrow must get back on that horse because it's a vital component. Much as it's not super fun.</div>

Still working on last week's hard copies. And <i>The Google Infused Classroom</i> and I got two more ... <i>The Pepper Effect </i>and <i>Learner Centered Innovation</i>. Don't know why I'm on such a kick. TBH I still need to read my copy of <i>Disrupting Thinking</i> and I've had it almost since it came out. And ... here I am going to say it out loud here ... <i>NOTICE and NOTE</i>. Bad teacher librarian. And so much money wasted, right? But to keep on top of reading to talk to the kids about!<br />
DYING to get to the top of the wait list for <i>War Storm</i>. Not for my students but just me. Love YA when reading for me.<br />

I've also been WATCHING a BBC show on ... Amazon Prime. Which usually was a big waste of video. <i>DCI Banks</i>. Anyone seen it?</div>

Some of this post is personal, some of it is professional. That's the way it might be for a while longer.<br />
<br />
And you will think I am nuts when you see how many books I have started over the past week. And I checked 4 out of the library. And that doesn't count the other ones on the Kindle and the ones on the shelf and the ones on hold and the poor, neglected Netgalley and Edelweiss ones (if you can't SEE the books--because those are "hidden" in the documents section--it's way too easy for them to be forgotten. BAD BOOK BLOGGER. Side note ... since I sort of took a break from blogging? More random emails about books or sponsored posts than I ever got when I was posting every day. What is up with that?).<br />
<br />
I probably won't get very far, either, because family is coming Tuesday night and won't leave til Saturday morning. But there is the rest of the summer for most of this.<br />
<br />
Book 1 #SparksintheDark I tend to think of the title of this one in terms of the hashtag.<br />
Because I did love <i>Kids Deserve It</i> and I love their enthusiasm. Tweeted a bit about it and will say more when I'm further along. Reading multiple books at a time it may take a while but with professional books I want to have time to think about things as I go and not rush. Sometimes (let's be honest, a lot of times) with fiction I rush.<br />

Book #2 <i>The Google Infused Classroom</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am pretty Google literate (got my level 1&2 certs last summer ... didn't do trainer because I can't ever get people to come to trainings but maybe I need to think more out of the box on how I do that?) but all of the reviews say it is still useful and so far I would agree. And it looks like they have another one coming out? But student dependent not savvy ... that is SO TRUE. I also kind of want to go back and also get <i>Google Apps 4 Littles</i> to see if there is anything I can share and get teachers to do (I tried to get them to use the color coding login cards but they didn't "get" it) but I'm already spending too much $ ... got a new Kindle Fire, too. So we'll see. </div>

Book #3 <i>The Wild Card</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Part of me resisted this one a little bit because last year is close enough to remember how tired I still feel (it wasn't all THAT ... the docs claim part of it is an autoimmune thing but as the internet claims that will never go away I keep hoping to find something that will make me feel like I used to ... but I digress) but the other part of me wants to get some FUN back into things. Because FUN is ... well, more more fun for all of us and more engaging for kids. More memorable, right? And more work. But does it feel like work? That's the balance. So we'll have to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which is not to say everything last year went wrong. Was actually quite surprised by a very positive evaluation by the AP. She's pretty reasonable and nice. Didn't get to actually talk to her about it (was all done electronically) and have any face to face time but whatever. Will take what I can get. Apparently my feelings that this past year was the worst one of my entire career ... that was the "d" word talking and not necessarily what everyone else saw?</div>

Book #4 <i>The Depression Cure</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I learned about this one through the Calm app and a masterclass. They give educators free access to the Calm paid version and while I think they wanted it used with kids I've used it more with me (and not consistently used it, to be honest, until the past week when I started listening to some of their masterclasses ... one on Social Media and Screen Addiction and then this one on Depression. I think the Social Media one deserves more thought and a professional angle on it because it really does have me thinking about some ways I can support parents more). TMI?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There. I said it. It's embarrassing (and it shouldn't be) and mortifying (and it shouldn't be) but man oh man oh man the past school year was NOT FUN and it has only been through a combo of family, faith, meds, and here again I am going to say it out loud professional help that I am climbing out of it now. The funny thing is it means less time online and more time back exercising (why is that SO STINKING HARD STILL because it does make a huge difference) and trying to connect again with those outside of family. I guess that is why I am saying anything here. Because teacher librarians ... it is way too easy to isolate ourselves. WAY TOO EASY. The school community doesn't mean to but they actually enable it some when they do things like take away assistants and get upset if the library door is locked for lunch and have everyone sit with "teams" at staff meetings and at lunches and such because where does that leave us? So. Self care. Make it a priority. Even if you are an introvert still talk to people because even introverts need some people. Even when you don't think you feel like it you need some people. Break into groups even when it makes you feel super uncomfortable. Now the sun one in this book. UGH IT IS SO STINKING HOT DURING THE SUMMER IN SOUTH TEXAS. During the year that is very likely part of the problem. I leave before the sun comes up, go inside to where I have no windows, and if they get their way don't leave until the sun goes down. That. Has. To. Stop. Being allergic to the air doesn't help ... but you know, the more I learn the more I wonder if some of the allergies aren't all related to a body at war with itself. Anyway.</div>

Happy Summer Break! Unless you are not on Summer Break? Not everyone is. I sometimes sort of forget that in reality other people CAN read this and they CAN be from other places. Happy READING, either way. If the personal stuff is TMI ... it won't last forever. If you've ever felt the same ... it happens. It does get better!</div>

This is a personal post so it's ALL ME, not my district or even much to do profession wise. FYI. Proceed knowing that. I'll regret oversharing and want to delete it but anyway. Two "awareness" months that have super affected my health the past year ended in May and if oversharing maybe helps one other teacher know they are not alone than so be it.<br />
<br />
One ... for heaven't sake, be nice to yourself. Mental health people ... make it a priority. Even those with super strong families and spiritual bases and common sense can one day (or night cause insomnia is THE WORST) wake up and realize all is not well. Please understand the kids are still awesome. They need us. I wanted to be there for them and be on fire for them but this year has been HARD. My own health has to be a priority as well, right? I have tried to get a change in scenery over the years. Heaven knows I have tried. Applied and interviewed so many times it became kind of a joke because it always went to someone else. Could tell myself "they knew someone" (because in many cases prior connections came out later, even they the person ended up doing well anyway). Could tell myself "there's a reason you are supposed to stay" but why was that true when I felt so stagnant and alone? When I was so ... I don't want to say unhappy but no longer inspired? I wanted to be but it got to where I couldn't get anyone to do interesting things and couldn't get anyone higher up to listen (I avoid confrontation like the PLAGUE) and it felt like all I was doing was checking books in and out and not even getting to talk to kids about what they were reading and that was just not fulfilling. I was exhausted and in pain before the mental health issues started and a cycle of dwelling too long on the issues of education today and how frustrated I was at so many policies and procedures that were harmful to kids did not help. Glad to say tiptoeing down a better road now. It's a precarious road but a better road.<br />
<br />
I truly don't know whether it was the chicken or the egg but they say stress can contribute to the onset of autoimmune disorders (docs have been super less than helpful ... I was doing half marathons 6 years ago) but pain and exhaustion and mental fogginess are real, no matter what the cause. They are real. And until I can get that under control the former issue will probably always be a bit of a spectre at the edge, waiting to jump back in if I let it.<br />
<br />
<br />
So. Still have a week and a half to go but then it's summer. Time to relax and recharge. Some thoughts.<br />
<br />
<br />
First of all ... the first couple of weeks means no thinking about school. Just get back into reading. That is one thing that has been a real barometer of just how much was wrong over the past year. Super hard to sit for anything but the audiobook on the commute. I'd either fall asleep or just not have the ability to concentrate. I have a backlog of Goodreads but I'm sure there are new titles that hopefully my local library will have? They are a smaller rural system so not many branches to choose from. Haven't tried the heavy duty ILLing from other systems. They are under renovations this summer so it should be an adventure going to pick up any titles!<br />
<br />
Then I also joined my old gym. I've been going to Pilates and that has stretched tight muscles but it hasn't gotten the heart rate up all that much so it's time to work on that. Two times a week at Pilates and three times a week at group training classes. Hopefully I don't die or start crying. Eeeek!<br />
<br />
Renew some interests outside of school or find some new ones. Haven't figured that out yet. I used to watercolor back in college. That would be cool but seeing as how it's already been 100+ (NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN UNTIL JULY! SO UNCOOL!) not sure I want to be outside. Maybe hand lettering?<br />
<br />
And some crafty things. Both for home and school. Just have to decide what.<br />
<br />
When school starts again I have to figure out how to connect more with the other teachers even though my introverted self craves some time to just be quiet. This year I really withdrew ... without an assistant I ended up eating in the library because I was trying to get caught up and people still ended up sending kids during my lunch and that needs to stop (even though I've taken the same lunch pretty much since my first day there 14 years ago and I was always asking for it to stop but no, I can't lock the door). Back to the lounge even when it feels awkward to break into team tables or I end up sitting by myself because they are all sitting with their teams.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's (almost) Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at <a href="http://bookdate.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Book Date</a>. It is a great way to recap what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week. It's also a great chance to see what others are reading right now… who knows, you might discover that next “must read” book!<br /><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Our Kid Lit to YA version is hosted by </span><a href="http://www.teachmentortexts.com/" style="color: #b6b84f; line-height: 18.48px; text-decoration: none;">Teach Mentor Texts</a><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"> and </span><a href="http://www.unleashingreaders.com/" style="color: #b6b84f; line-height: 18.48px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Unleashing Readers</a><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">It's long.

I loved this story. I listened to it in the car on my drive to and from school and during lunch. The narrator does an exceptionally good job at bringing the characters to life. I mean, the author wrote really awesome lines (some funny, some creepy, some fantastical) but I just loved the tone and accent of the delivery. I died any time I had to stop listening and that hasn't happened for quite some time. No, not every question is answered at the end but I didn't even care I enjoyed the book so much. Book two comes out in October, I think?<br />

Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart--an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests--or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.</span></span><br />
<br />
It's already got a movie production deal. <a href="http://variety.com/2017/film/news/drew-goddard-nevermoor-the-trials-of-morrigan-crow-fox-1202597115/" target="_blank">That news came out in Variety before the book was even published.</a><br />

I also read <i>Shake Up Learning</i>. Can I be quite as effusive about that one? No. It was PD and I'm a fiction girl. But it is a <i>very good</i> PD book. I got to read a free advanced copy (because I am a Kasey Bell/Google Teacher Tribe Fangirl ... if you remember clear back when I used to post more you might(?) know that? Both her blog and the podcast were major helps to me passing the Google Educator Certifications last summer) and just kept thinking yes, yes, yes and anymore due to health and other general circumstances I have been pretty disillusioned about education and my particular job situation so that means something. I don't say that to sound woe is me, just in passing honest. (If ever) More on that in another post. I only show up every day because of the kids. They are still worth it. This book is honest. Don't try to do it ALL at once. Tech is not a "it will fix everything." In fact that very mindset is part of the problem. We have to shake up the way we plan learning experiences in order to make things more applicable and more engaging and more relevant. Each chapter has great thinking prompts and actionable steps. Definitely worthwhile for educators for all ages. <a href="https://shakeuplearningbook.com/" target="_blank">She also has an amazing set of resources linked up for the chapters at her website</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Not sure what I'll read next. It's testing so ... actively monitoring! 🙄 But I also have to take a day to get my license renewed and I might do that post testing just as something to reward myself for not going crazy. Even if it is Library Week because heaven knows no one else will ever remember that. And due to testing I can't really promote it, either. I did send some pics, at least, to the district guy who wanted something to tweet. Who sent out his request on School Librarian Day without a word. They remember nurses and counselors at the campus level. But they do more than check in/check out books, you know? Insert sarcastic eye roll ... 🙄🙄🙄</span></span><br />

Even when you have a strong family and strong faith base and you thought you had it under control. Sometimes things are just ... hard. Sometimes being the only one doing a job in a building is so very isolating (in general being a teacher is “bad” enough, but they at least often have teams, right? Or is that a fallacy?) it is just so hard. More and more and more and more is expected with less and less support. The kids still need you so why isn't that enough? Just ... give yourself some grace. You can't do it all and be it all and anyone who expects you to is just expecting more than one person can deliver. Or at least this person, try as she might.<br />
<br />
Soon after the last post we had bookfair. Then all the bookfair paperwork. Then I felt less and less well. Thought I finally had a plan but that fell through. So that's boring and ridiculous, right? Would love to say I have all these great ideas and book reviews (people sent me electronic copies and even a couple hard copies and I totally dropped the ball. A couple I read and reviewed on Goodreads but never posted here. A couple I never opened) because that's what we go to blogs for but boy howdy. Just hard.<br />
<br />
So I'll just share a couple things that I am looking at right now and wish you the best and happiest of Thanksgivings. Think the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzTZxNDfoo4">Anne of Green Gables</a> will be better than last year's? I forgot to remind you about the turkey bookmarks I already had made and even though I got some cute new turkey images didn't make any new stuff. How blah is this post. Apologies. Not sure when I'll be back but hopefully soon.<br />

I haven't finished <strike>two</strike> three other classes I started so why am I even looking at this book? <br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/STurmn2qAKU" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
If the stars align I'll have a couple new things but until then here are a couple old freebies. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/December-Bookmarks-420105">Elf </a> and <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reindeer-Read-Bookmarks-996426">reindeer</a> bookmarks (see, I'm even breaking blogger rules and not getting decent images/embed code). My students love bookmarks. In fact they make messes searching through the container for specific ones. 🤣<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Excuse me for acting 14 for a second cause I'm so NOT but. I usually prefer my boys darker (think Han Solo, Poe Dameron, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston) but seriously. Chris Hemsworth is just so funny in this movie. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">But I love Lockwood & Co. Have I said that? I think I've said that. 🤔😀🤓</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">And that is all I really have to say today. I need to finish a couple books that have been sent to me and with energy levels where they've been ... that might be my best goal to set this week. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Though Bruce's Big Move comes tomorrow so there is that.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">And really in October Lockwood deserves it's own blog post with more detail to convince anyone who hasn't already picked them up (I've done them all in audio which I highly recommend).

Past times. If you're reading in a blog reader and it looks like something is missing click through ... sometimes embedded pins or what have you don't make it to Bloglovin or Feedly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Does anyone else find Pinterest not actually quite as fun anymore? There are so many promoted pins that I never asked to be in my feed that are not even interesting to me it's just a distraction. I don't spend nearly as much time on there as I once did. Still a place to keep track of some things I might have found elsewhere. And sometimes I still go on and poke around. But not nearly like I used to.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a data-pin-do="embedPin" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/109282728441483265/"></a><br />
Because if nothing else noticing how you can drag the address/toolbar? 🤦♀️ But then the Emoji Keyboard🤒👽👊 and Driveslides. And several others. Check it out. <br />
<br />
<br />
Super weird doing yoga that close to Han's pained face. But I sort of want. It's overpriced. If they'd only done it for under $50 I'd already have ordered it. But I haven't. <br />

<br />
<a data-pin-do="embedPin" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/109282728441494232/"></a><br />
Still don't know about this but ... last while have discovered more about this. If that makes sense. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dummy as all get out preview picture but go check it out because super handy. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at <a href="http://bookdate.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Book Date</a>. It is a great way to recap what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week. It's also a great chance to see what others are reading right now… who knows, you might discover that next “must read” book!<br /><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Our Kid Lit to YA version is hosted by </span><a href="http://www.teachmentortexts.com/" style="color: #b6b84f; line-height: 18.48px; text-decoration: none;">Teach Mentor Texts</a><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"> and </span><a href="http://www.unleashingreaders.com/" style="color: #b6b84f; line-height: 18.48px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Unleashing Readers</a><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">.</span></span><br />

So I've spent the morning cutting bookmarks and other things for school since there's no time or help to do it there and I had nervous energy because I knew my dad was trying to get gas and the past four days that has become a major deal here in south/central TX. Like major deal. I lucked out Saturday morning with a 45 minute wait. He's currently going on eight hours. But not enough gas to drive all over town to different stations and many, many, many stations are out and waiting for deliveries and he works even further away from his house than I do. It's a logistics issue post Harvey, they tell us.<br />
<br />
Houston and the coast have bigger worries. Hopefully no one will have bigger worries later next week due to Irma. And ... is it Montana that is having all the fires? So I'm trying to be stressed. But I am.<br />
<br />
<br />
BOOKS! Not as many as I wanted to. :(<br />
<br />
Force Friday brought me these. Only one was for reading, obviously, but it was so fun to get a backstory on our favorite little roly poly droid. He's a good little guy!<br />

And I also downloaded Claudia Grey's <i>Leia</i> ... but I haven't read it yet. Once I finish Miles Morales I will get to it. Darn it and the E ARCs that I keep putting off. Once I get home from school I look at a few things on the computer and then I fall asleep. It's so silly. What would I do if I had kids?<br />
<br />
Oh and I also read <i>The Quest for Z</i> by Greg Pizzoli. A picture book for the OLDER crowd but super cool art direction and a cool non-fic story.<br />
<br />
Super excited that next week the audio to book five of Lockwood & Co (Jonathan Stroud) <i>The Empty Grave</i> will be out. I love that series! An alternate slightly spooky London with characters I've gotten to know over the course of the previous four books. Very much looking forward to more time with them.<br />

But usually it is. I just don't trust that I'll remember to take another picture next week so why not get this written. This is what kids see when they first walk in. I do have to take the iPad out to charge because there was not a plug that was handy ... but one COULD run a cord down that pole if you had a plug available.<br />

I forgot to take another pic once the iPad was in there. They get their shelf marker (next pic ... on class rings with bar codes on one end, yes, sometimes they have trouble with the rings 🙄. I modified an idea from @myschoollibrary but I'm mean and couldn't deal with keeping track of punches or handing out prizes anymore 😟). Next pic is the middle circ but that will only be used for problems cause it requires me to be stuck behind it (it is where the majority of book clearing from class drop offs will happen, though, cause it's right by the drop). All the way at the end is the self check in/out. Sort of awkward from the sign in/entrance but it's very handy for the exit. #schoollibrary #circdesk #elementarylibrary</a></div>

Now, do I properly use all of the info that the Google Form could give me? Sharing the data of what grades are coming independently every month in pretty graphs with my admin? No. But in theory I could. And I'm hoping to get better. This is definitely a step up from the spiral notebook we were using before. Which was a bare guess ("23 lines, 13 pages used, how many kids is that?") in a month. And a couple teachers have used the time stamp (I did share the results form with them) to keep an eye on a couple kids who sometimes wandered between the classroom and the library. <br />
<br />
How do you set up pre-filled QR codes (the kids only have to fill in why they are in the library (book checkout, finish tech projects, etc ... and their name, of course!) See not prettily formatted but it gets the job done and it is <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/msoreadsbooks.com/presentation/d/162gawd9qf-7QFR78qix9kZwDYEdaijpBKk8uQ92Lia0/edit?usp=sharing">updated to a couple of changes in Forms HERE</a>. (later edit ... link sharing is fixed now. How embarrassing!)<br />
<br />
Happy Labor Day weekend. I'm going to take a nap to recover from the silly stress of having to wait in line for 45 minutes to get gas this morning. South TX has gone nuts post Harvey. So lame of me to say stress because Houston has so much more to deal with (keep donating to your preferred places! There are lots of them!) but this weird gas not shortage but supply snafu issue everyone's flipping out thing ... it's just weird. I live too far away from my work to deal with that. Thursday? Lines of cars 70+ long. This morning the line was only like 20 long. But there was one going the other way as well. <br />

All of a sudden forgot what I was just looking at not 3 seconds ago. I feel like I should do something more interesting but my word, what rotten timing. Right when school is starting. Scheduling this post ahead of time. Tonight will be Meet the Teacher. I don't actually get to do anything library related.
Just stand in the hall and direct people. And greet some old students so at least there is that.<br />
<br />
Like many of you I've been privileged to sit through some really stellar and useful training this week.<br />
As we are going to hear so many times IT IS WHAT IT IS.<br />
<br />
So fun things ... well, not found on the internet this week because come home too exhausted or migrained out. But I don't think I've shared them before so this is what I will share today. As always, click through because sometimes embeds don't show up in Bloglovin/Feedly and <i>always</i> click through to go to the original source.<br />
<br />
<br />
Having very recently dealt with a computer lab scheduling Google meltdown (because the revision history was NOT DOING IT'S JOB I KNOW WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO AND IT WAS NOT DOING IT) ... this jumped out at me. Not that it would have helped because gremlins were at work and truly, I think district tie downs were messing with what should have been a very simple thing ... I thought why not keep this around for reference anyway? <br />

<br />
<br />
I had to read before I understood what the "template" part meant. But in many cases it WOULD be better than just Make a Copy. Tony Vincent, you knocked it out of the park again.<br />
<a data-pin-do="embedPin" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/109282728441409093/"></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I'm just super excited for the Ferdinand movie. There are lots of these that are fun. Here is one. I cannot EVER do this in real life so I live vicariously. Are you following them on FB? <br />
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FFerdinandMovie%2Fvideos%2F1408283292558123%2F&show_text=0&width=476" width="476" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
And that is all for today. I'm exhausted and just learning to deal with no help even part time (spoiled, I know ... but I could do so much more!). Also there is supposed to be a hurricane this weekend. I'm not even on the very coast and everyone is flipping out. So if you are on the coast please be careful! And if you are not but you are close enough that you also have people worried ... think of us. And if you are off in la la somewhere pretty just enjoy. We all have different trials. :P <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Goodbye Days</i> is a YA title I read on the plane. Well written (about a teen who accidentally (?) sends a text while his friends are driving and they have an accident and die) ... and SAD. Gut wrenching. :( Well written but wow :(.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Creepy Pair of Underwear</i>. Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. I cannot read it without laughing myself. Can't wait to share it with kiddos. In fact have planned a Skype chat with nieces and nephews because it was delivered Thursday and I was so beflustered from our first day of PD for the year (more on that later) and packing for the quick trip to the wedding that I didn't bring it with me. I SHOULD HAVE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Nerdy Birdy</i>. Yes, I read them out of order. SO CUTE. Love this one, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Nothing Rhymes with Orange</i>. A good one for the beginning of the year and community building/ reminders for kindness always.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Earth Children are Weird</i> is not really for kids. The art is adorable and I may still share it with the upper level grades as a slightly spooky read aloud but unless their parents have made them watch X Files (and let's face it that is not a kid's show) they won't really get it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week? I may get some audiobook hours in but that may be it. Crazy long with BTS stuff and then genius church people scheduled something on Saturday. :/ That's a terrible attitude. I get anything in I will be happy. Is what it is, right? More reading time will come in a week or two.</div>

You should! So many great conversations going on there. I love all the bright and shiny and BLANK bulletin boards of classroom teachers that are going to read a book every single day. And of course there is still the hashtag on Twitter.<br />
<br />
Can't do it, can we? Not to every single class. But we can read a book a week to many classes (or every grade if you see every class for read alouds every single week ... I don't). So I am going to do maybe a weekly one for PreK/kinder and first. Everyone else gets read alouds every once in a while mixed in with lessons but since they are not as consistent ... no pretty visual. They might get jealous, actually. Stay tuned to the IG feed. It's 98% certain coming.<br />
<br />
<br />
You probably know about these but here are five BTS reads I'm planning on.<br />

OLDIE. But I still like it. Showing my age that I continue to use it? It's just so good! You can relate behaviors to all of the animals! Maybe I don't need it ... looking at the schedule. But I like it. It's hard to get now, looking at Amazon. At least new.</div>

Just ordered this one (oh, my Amazon bill this month. It's not pretty. It just takes SOOOOOOOO LONG to get anything at school anymore :/). Their description? "<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">We all know nothing rhymes with orange. But how does that make Orange feel? Well, left out! When a parade of fruit gets together to sing a song about how wonderful they are—and the song happens to rhyme—Orange can't help but feel like it's impossible for him to ever fit in. But when one particularly intuitive Apple notices how Orange is feeling, the entire English language begins to become a bit more inclusive. Beloved author-illustrator Adam Rex has created a hilarious yet poignant parable about feeling left out, celebrating difference, and the irrefutable fact that nothing rhymes with orange."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love the other HOORAY books so it was a given when I saw one about BOOKS I had to click add to cart, no matter how bad my bill is. :( I'll figure out what to do with it when it comes!

Maybe his book was borrowed by Zebra, Owl, Giraffe, Elephant, or Lion. As Turtle searches, his friends offer to share their own favorite stories, but other books just won't do. Or is it time for Turtle to try something different?
