I broke my streak.... shocking, I know! I looked a few days ago at previous #MTBoSYuleBlog challenges and I think I've only made my goal of 12 posts one time. This is Post 11 for this year, so I'm *almost* there (and I still have 3 more days to go until Winter Break is over!) Yesterday was just a rough day and while I wanted to blog, I was at a total standstill. After I had stared at my screen for about 5 hours, I gave up and ran some errands, then came back to settle in with my Kindle.
Then, in response to my whiny tweet about breaking my streak, my dear friend Meg responded with:
Oh man - that's a toughie! So here we go.... (in no particular order)
On Tuesday, we went to my Mom's for Christmas and to set up her new phone. When I got home, this book was in the mailbox as a gift from a dear friend and I'm so excited to dig in! I had heard of this book from Twitter, but other than liking the title, I really didn't know much about it. From the sample on Amazon, it's about a journey of professional development on a more personal level. I know many teachers have already had that realization that our professional growth is truly our own responsibility versus the "sit and get" PD that many schools and districts provide.
Most of my #EduReads are on my Kindle:
This is not all of the books I have ready to read, but it's definitely the most recent ones! :)
A few weeks ago, @pamjwilson mentioned she would like to read the Teaching Math in the Visible Learning Classroom this semester and try to implement some of the strategies, so it's at the top of my list!
The other books seen here were all books that were on sale on Kindle recently. In fact, Math Games with Bad Drawings is currently on sale for $2.99. I read his book on calculus (Change is the Only Constant) and LOVED it, so when I saw Math with Bad Drawings and Math Games with Bad Drawings on sale this fall, I snapped them up, but haven't read them yet.
I check the Kindle Book Deals about once a week just to see if there's anything new on sale or on Kindle Unlimited. I like having the ability to read / highlight passages and then I purchase physical copies of the books I liked for my classroom.
If you are interested in reading any of these books and chatting about them, please let me know! If there's another book on your to-be-read pile, let me know that too - I'm always looking for new books! :)
