The Book Whisper Study Party

 I am joining the  The Book Whisperer book study that will begin this week. I had bought my book during the school year and literally couldn't put it down. I look forward to re-reading it and picking up on things that I may have not gotten the first time around. Really pumped about this book study. This is going to be great!

 Thinking of Teaching had the opportunity to interview Donalyn Miller, the author of The Book Whisperer and is hosting a linky party to share answers to the questions that Mrs. Miller answered. Here are the questions and my answers...

1) What is your favorite book (or series) from childhood?

My favorite book growing up was Ramona Quimby Age 8. Of course, I LOVED all of the Ramona books, but this was my favorite.

2) What is your favorite book (or series) now?

I find that I read more professional books rather than books for fun. After reading the Book Whisperer the first time, I have tried to make it a goal to read more books that my students read. I am starting this summer with the Florida Sunshine State Book list.

3) What is your opinion of e-readers?

E-readers are are great advance technology...but I am old school and still prefer to have a book in hand.

4) Finish this sentence: "On Sundays I like to..."

do whatever the season calls for. I like to go to the beach in the Summer (with a good book), in the fall I like to find a new professional read to help with my lifelong learning as a teacher. In WInter, I like to curl up with a book in front of the fire or with my favorite blanket. In Spring, I love to sit outside and read in the shade.

5) Describe yourself in 5 words!

Dedicated, Precise, Loving, Loyal, Team Player

 

6) Hardcover or paperback? Why?

It doesn't matter--either one.

7) Coffee or Tea?

  I am not a coffee drinker at all. I love to drink hot tea in the cooler months and cold sweet tea in the warmer months.
