So everyone thought it was such a good idea to have a school/book shower. But then no one got around to throwing it for me (excuse me while I clear my throat, er Mom, er Angela, er er). Hehe!
So I am throwing it for myself. Several of you have asked what I might need for the library in my classroom or for my classroom in general. I'm not sure so much about the classroom as Angela and her teacher friends have been collecting stuff for me but I do know I need a few more books. (I stress a few as there was an incident with 29 boxes of books 2 weeks ago that we don't need to experience again!)
I don't know a lot about what 7th graders read but I have been doing some research and so if you have any other books you know are appropriate for 5th - 7th graders then that would be fine (as I understand it most of the students are at a lower reading level than they are at grade level).
So if you are interested in donating any of these books, know they will be well-loved by students:-)
Here's a few I've been looking for in used bookstores and haven't found yet (used is great!)
- All the Harry Potter books in soft cover
- The Joey Pigza books (by Jack Gantos)
So far I have about 15 books for my library and I know a few of you have asked about particulars so that's why I'm posting. No need to rush right out to the store or anything but if you find these or have them laying around...
I'm pretty excited about having a classroom, and seeing the same students every day, and teaching them something (God willing!) and I am excited to share all of that with you. I got several new journals from friends this past week and I can't wait to keep track of my experience and then write about it!
If you want to donate books to the library - let me know and I'll give you my new mailing address!

GREAT IDEA! We would love to buy you some books. I'll talk with Joe and then get back to you about what we'll get. Lots of love
So...I either want to get the box set of Harry Potter (however, the 6th one is not included) or the box set of A serious of Unfrotunate events (the last one doesn't come out till october though). Let me know what you would prefer.
