Holiday Reading

To read, or not to read, over the holiday break? That is the question. I hope the answer is "to read".

I sent a reading log home with my kids today. Want to know what makes me smile? Many of the kids in my class would read much more than the minimum, reading log or not. In fact, some of my kids read thousands of minutes each week. That is one of the reasons, but not the only one, that we are having a FABULOUS 2009-2010 school year.

Today I received some Barnes & Noble gift cards, and I can't wait to spend them. Thanks, kids! I'll definitely be buying a copy of "The Hunger Games" and its sequel, "Catching Fire". What will YOU be reading over the holidays?
