Reading blog is FINISHED!

It is actually bittersweet to have finished my blog. It was definitely a great deal of work, but also worthwhile. I loved learning how to blog, because I had never done it before this course. I want to incorporate some type of reading blog into my future classrooms, maybe a class reading blog. Students could share this blog with their parents and family, or with other classes. I have read some GREAT books during my reading blog journey! I can honestly say that I would highly recommend every book included within my blog entries!
