Blog Name Change!

Dear Blog Readers,

Yes, I have changed the name of my blog to reflect my new position for next year! (I guess this tells you how I excited I am about it!)

I will still blog about books, reading, and now: the library! Also, I vow to share a little more about shoes.

Lately, I have been wearing these:

I've been moving a lot.

I've left my old school and closed up my classroom. Wrapping up a school year and leaving a school are major undertakings, so it took comfortable shoes and lots of determination to get it all done. (Plus lots of cardboard boxes, cold bottles of water, and Kleenex to say goodbye!)

I'm still wearing the running shoes as I started nesting at my new school. I've made lists (yes, plural), and brought in some things. The projects multiply in number as the ideas come. It's problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and self-directed learning at its very best. This transition is a good teacher.

Despite having so much to do, I'm still determined to get in as much of my #bookaday as possible. I've had 3 official days of summer vacation, but I have finished these books:

I'm not sure if I'll be wearing my sneakers all day again, but whatever my shoe choice, books will be involved!
