My rules?
1. All content must be appropriate for children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade.
NEW 2. Please link to your original content, not the content of others.
3.

lots of kids visit this site and if they click on your
link, I want it to be appropriate for them.

In
the link title field, be sure to include the title of the

book review (That way people don't have to scour your blog
looking for it!)

For
newcomers & visitors: Definition of "Book Talk" from
Wikipedia: "A booktalk in the broadest terms is what is spoken with
the intent to convince someone to read a book. The booktalker
gives the audience a glimpse of the setting, the characters, and/or the major conflict without providing the resolution or denouement. Booktalks make listeners care enough about the content of the book to want to read it. A
long booktalk is usually about five to seven minutes long and a
short booktalk is generally thirty seconds to two minutes long.
What a beautiful weekend! It has been around 65 degrees and sunny with a perfect blue sky that goes on forever. Not quite fall, but no longer summer- you can almost picture the trees wearing their beautiful gold and orange leaves. This is my favorite time of year. We spent the weekend eating ice cream in the sun and playing at the lake. I can't stand the thought of snow and cold and shoveling. How did you spend your 3 day weekend? What is the weather like where you are? I know there are fires in the south and floods in the east... I am very lucky to have this weather to enjoy.
Ww have enjoyed amazing weather this weekend as well. My family was at the beach. We are on our way home right now in the card and apparently it is storming at home in Pennsylvania. Back to reality. School starts tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteToday has been a cool, dreary day - my favorite kind! Back to the grind tomorrow :-)
ReplyDeletelove your smiling picture! what a treat! I feel like I'm being hurtled into the fall, with lesson planning, class assignments due for my own classes at SJSU, soccer schedules - how to do all the juggling?
ReplyDeleteHold onto the moment while you can. And carve out time for families. Love the idea of turning off all the power, and just having time with my family.
Tornado watches and heavy rain in North Carolina. Saturday was nice though. I had a scoop of brown sugar maple with bacon ice cream in Asheville. I will miss ice cream weather.
ReplyDeleteSeveral local schools closed tomorrow due to grassfires in Central Tx. Makes you realize how special it is to have a home and family.
ReplyDeleteI was working on Labor Day since it's not a holiday here in Hungary :) It was a gorgeous day and I was thinking of my family celebrating all together on Cape Cod. Holiday weekends are when it's hardest to live abroad.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes all,
Sarah
Thanks for sharing book links!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder - love what you're doing here and happy to be a part of it!
ReplyDeleteI was excited to read about Wonderstruck and Charlie Joe's Guide to Not Reading. Also that was great to hear about Chris's (Book dad's) contest.
