The meetings are wonderful but I'm notorious for playing catch-up whenever I can. So many things come up that can interrupt the best plans!Mentoring in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766062877239431093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221505559187841934.post-19083719041433197612016-08-15T04:38:55.332-04:002016-08-15T04:38:55.332-04:00This is really inspiring.

But after lunch, I'm reading a book too. They love to ask me about the book I'm reading and they see that I'm practicing what I'm preaching!Mentoring in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766062877239431093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221505559187841934.post-39510348373732359932016-08-10T21:43:44.598-04:002016-08-10T21:43:44.598-04:00Wonderful ideas!

Another thing to do is talk to them regularly about what you are reading in your free time. Read them excerpts or give a book talk. Show them your enthusiasm for reading, and they will eat it up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096077503692527467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221505559187841934.post-3018462152576258352016-08-10T19:06:34.670-04:002016-08-10T19:06:34.670-04:00What a great "Back to School" inspiring ...What a great "Back to School" inspiring post! :) I love that your students must be so aware of your on-going interest in them!

I think they're important, not just for me, the teacher, but for my students to actually go through the motions of thinking about themselves as readers and writers.Wild Child’s Mossy Oak Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308856606793797473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221505559187841934.post-35633811869825865962016-08-01T18:22:49.444-04:002016-08-01T18:22:49.444-04:00I think it is so important to know your students a...I think it is so important to know your students and this interest survey is a super way to get connected from the beginning of school!Kathy Sunshine and Lollipopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870107819398788141noreply@blogger.com
