This is one of the books I got when I went to present in Ohio. It's a historical fiction book set in World War II. Jayna (aka Gingersnap) only has her brother and he's about to leave for the war. She's going to stay with their land lady and isn't looking forward to it. I can't wait to learn about World War II through this story. I've never read it from this perspective before.

I finished my The tail of Emily windsnap. It is amazing. And the best part is that it is a series.

Today I started The book called number the stars. It was about a girl named Anna Marie and she has a friend named Ellen.Ellen is Jewish and the Nazis are invading the town and taking away almost all of their food supply. Annemarie is very frightened that her friend Allen's family might be captured. I can tell that annemarine really cares about Ellen and their families are very close.

Earlier today I went on kid blog and read Breonna's new blog post which was about room organization! It was helpful and I really liked it!

Today I started the book Number The Stars by Lois Lowery. It is about this girl named Annemarie and she is living during the time of WW2. The Nazis are invading her town and her family is short on food, clothing, and money. Annemarie's friend is Ellen and Ellen is Jewish. Annemarie is getting scared for Ellen because she is worried that Ellen might be captured. I left off where Annemarie is saying that she wants to be her friend's bodyguard. This means that she might even die to save her friend.

I finished reading Coraline today, I reall liked it, but it can't tell you anything about what I read, (I'd spoil the book!) I'd rate it a 4 out of 5, because the author left some of my questions unanswered, and sometimes in a book that is in a series, that is important to leave everyone at a cliffhanger, but since Coraline is a single book, the only thing I would like Neil Gaiman to do, is to answer, why did Coraline let the other mother take the key? Was it planned?

Today I finished up The Tail of Emily Windsnap. This book was very touching I recommended to a lot of people, it was very touching because Emily had to go through a lot of tough times to find more information about her father and she met a very kind friend, Shona who really made her look at everything differently. I think the lesson in this story was to keep hoping and never forget love is important. Emily also tought Neptune that love is important and that is why she and her family are FREE! Sorry if I ruined the ending for you.

# data[].attributes.body
Starting this second snow day off with a little light reading from books in the March Book Madness bracket. I'm trying to apply to become an Apple Distinguished Educator so I have a lot of writing to do later today! This writing is really hard for me because they are essays where I have to write about how technology has made an impact on my students (you guys!) and me as a teacher. I'm glad I get a lot of time to think and plan this today! What are you reading or writing today? #snowdayAPS

Over my long weekend, I went to a book store and I got two books, How to Steal a Dog, and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I started reading the Harry Potter book right away and now I almost done with it. The book How To Steal A Dog, was a book that my class was reading in third grade and never finished. I thought it would be nice to finish.

I finished a book, went to Delaware, visited a friend, and wrote a little. The book I finished was called "Flying Solo". It is about a class that decides that they will run a class by themselves when, no substitute shows up.

Now, about Delaware, the reasn we went to Delaware was my brothers hockey games. He had a tournament and won 2nd place. My brother had a fever but he still played.

This is a joint effort with my parents. For the long weekend we went to Asheville, NC. While we were there we celebrated Mardi Gras (Its a celebration about celebrating) and we got to see the famous Grove Park Inn. We sat on the balcony sipping hot cocoa while the sun said goodnight to us. A location that many a famous writer has sat to contemplate their next sentence. On the way there and back I read Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator, By: Roald Dahl. I read the whole book while my Mom showed her awesome driving skills mostly keeping one exit in front of winter storm Octavia while my Dad slept. So you see today I did no reading instead I went to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and the National Portrait Gallery to see the President's portraits to celebrate President's Day. My favorite portrait was a cool portrait of Bill Clinton. It was fantastic as we got to park right in front of both museums and because no one was out on the streets. ( Actually I did read a bit tonight).

I spent today's snow day finishing a wonderful young adult novel called, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. It is a great read especially because of the way the author uses repetitive imagery in describing the four main characters.

When I heard school was canceled for me last night, I shouted HOORAY! You see, I have 650 pages of text to read over and get ready for the production team and I was running a LITTLE behind schedule. I've been at my keyboard since! Wondering what I'm working on? It's a book for teachers like Ms. Hale!

I went sledding today, and when I was done I was really tired. I thought I could reread something. I wanted to reread Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets. I chose this book because I have just finished the first book with my book club and I thought I might do a Harry Potter marathon.

Today, while I drink hot chocolate I went on kidblog to revise some of my posts, I am currently planning part 3 for my Cinderella story (I spoof movies on my blog). I also read a little bit of The Julian Chapter by R. J. Palacio, it is like Wonder but just in Julian's perspective. I only read up to the part where Julian, Charlotte, and Jack are about to show August around school. My 'buzz bud' recommended this book to me.

Very inspiring!

So many books to read today and I don't know where to start! I have been researching what do do over my spring break trip to the Caribbean. Which beach serves the best food and has some shade? Perfect reading to do on a cold, snowy day and I'm taking notes on what I learn. The other book is a new one that I picked up at NCTE with Ms Killingsworth, Ms Smith, Ms Hale and Ms Fatouros. Did you all know teachers go to meetings on weekends to learn more about teaching and books? That day we all left with tons of new books to read. This one looks great and is about middle school best friend problems. It's called the Swap by Megan Shull and I'm excited I have today to read it!

I'm so excited about this snow day because I have a confession to make. I never got to read the book, Glory Be, over winter break and have felt guilty about it ever since. This #snowdayAPS has allowed me to finally sit down and read this book.

Glory Be is a historical fiction book set in the 1960s. The main characters so far are Glory and her friend, Franklin. I can tell it's historical fiction already because of the way they describe the setting. I'll let you know more about it as I read on.
