Starting this fall I will be a student teacher at Study Middle School.  My first assignment - 6th grade Reading with Mrs. Wicklund.  In order to prepare myself for this exciting journey, I will be spending most of my summer reading books off the Truman Nominee lists for last year and this year.  I do this because I will be expecting my students to read these same books and I would like to have some knowledge of the books so that I can sit down and discuss these books with them, just in case they have questions or would like some guidance on these books.

So my plan is to read as many of these books as possible and write my thoughts and any information that I  find out about these books in my blog.  Maybe my thoughts can be used to help my students determine what they want to read.
