I only have a few days left until I will be at the school creating new lesson plans to match our new syllabi for all three of my grades. I have time to get a couple more books read before my summer focus has to change. What are your suggestions? I typically like suspense, mystery, historical, however I'm open to anything except slutty or trashy.

I'd recommend a book called The Shepherd's Life by James Rebanks. He's an English farmer who happened to attend Oxford on a scholarship, and he writes very well. The book is about the value of work, family, folklore, history, the rugged landscape where he farms, and a lot of fascinating animal lore. It's just a great read. His wife recently published her own book, and I'm looking forward to reading that.

Hmmm I'd recommend The Guest List by Lucy Foley. It's a mystery book about a wedding on an island where everything starts to go wrong for the couple and someone turns up dead. I couldn't put it down as soon as I started reading it, definitely a 5 star review from me!

Okay, I may have to take a few extra days to read. This looks like a good book.

A couple of excellent ones I have read this summer:

“The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride
Great story! A community of Jews and black residents in the 1930s in Pennsylvania. Murder mystery, but it’s not only about that. Funny. Sad. Love. It’s about community. Really outstanding.

“Master Slave, Husband Wife” by Ilyon Woo
Game-changer of nonfiction. The true story of a black husband and wife who escape the South dressed as master and slave. That in itself is unreal, but what happens after that is just as interesting. We need more stories like this of bravery we know nothing about.

“The Silent Patient” by Alex Michaelides
Murder mystery. You know who does it; you don’t know. It’s this person; no, it’s this one. Oh, heck, I’m just going to read it.

These three are awesome. My next one is Tommy Orange’s sequel, “Wandering Stars.”

Let’s hear what you’ve read!

Make sure you post your review. I hope you like it!

Is this an older book
, and can you tell me the author?

I just read The Women by Kristin Hannah and it was really good. It’s historical fiction about women in the Vietnam War. The Great Alone and The Four Winds are also historical fiction books by her. Also loved American Dirt-historical fiction about the cartel in Mexico.

I haven't heard about these books or author. I'll check them out.

Also, survey response rate tends to be low for these guys. Any ideas???

How do you best support your students who do not speak English? I have four ELL’s in my 6th grade ELA class and they don’t receive push-in or pull-out Bilingual support during my class. Do you pull them for small group to provide instruction separately or do you just try to use google translate to translate your lessons and the work? Any best practices? I’d love some help.

Today, I showed a TED Talk about the Guatemalan genocide. We were discussing the role of forensic anthropologists. It made such an impact on my students. I teach in a super red state and district and often my students do not see the pain of our Central American neighbors and why they seek asylum here. I tied their plight to my mom’s post-WWII and asked them why she was welcomed by our current immigrants are not. It was so powerful. One of my LatinoX students told me thank you for today’s lesson.

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine?

We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.
