summer is for reading


Having a great time reading many, many books for statewide reading selection committee. And reading the Black Eyed Susan nominees for 2011-2012 school year. I have chosen one to start a book club at school.
Hoping to have a lunch bunch group and focus this year on BES twice a week. Students must read at least three books to vote for their favorite.
I liked this one -it's about a girl and her family, she likes to swim and dive especially. Her Dad, a former diver, is training her, once a week. Their house is a little chaotic and of course Callie thinks her life is very uncool. Lovely spring board for disccussions.
Can't wait!
