We had to look up the part of speech and the definition and be able to pronounce the word correctly if asked. This really helped me to expand my vocabulary, and even now I find myself using the words I learned.]]> 2017-09-11 23:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186590696 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186590947 I grew up with some of the classic children's books, such as Goodnight Moon and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Our house had a shelf full of books to read along with endless trips to the library to get even more.]]> 2017-09-11 23:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186590947 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186591077 My mom played a huge role in my literary life. When my sister and
 I were younger, she would read aloud from the Little House books and the American Girl books every night before we went to bed. Even today, I still remember those nights. I learned so much about American history and it's many perspectives.]]> 2017-09-11 23:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186591077 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186591177 Nowadays, most of the reading I do is for my classes. However, when I have free time, I love to indulge in some Christian fiction (as seen below) and other young adult novels. I hope to build up my knowledge of books that elementary students are reading now to help myself as a future teacher.]]> 2017-09-11 23:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186591177 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186591218 2017-09-11 23:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186591218 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186978243 2017-09-12 21:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186978243 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186978471 I really got into chapter books as I went through middle school. The Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series were two of my all time favorites that I still re-read today.]]> 2017-09-12 21:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/186978471 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187396218 2017-09-14 01:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187396218 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187396318 2017-09-14 01:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187396318 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187602758 2017-09-14 15:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187602758 aldon1 https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187759190 I was in a production of Fiddler on the Roof in high school.  Its depiction of the Jewish dialect and culture sets it apart from other productions. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot about music and how it is connected to the literary world.]]> 2017-09-14 20:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aldon1/3epyb1malkp3/wish/187759190
