Easter Reading

Easter break is upon us at KCI and we will be enjoying family time for the next week. I am really looking forward to spending time with my sons! I am also looking forward to doing some reading! I visited the book fair that was taking place at my son's school and they had a YA section with buy 1 get 1 free. It was interesting to see a large YA section at this school as it is a K-4 school. Good for me though. I love deals! I picked up 2 books, The Hollow City (the second installment in Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children) and The Nazi Hunters: How a Team of Spies and Survivors Captured the World's Most Notorious Nazi. I am currently working on the Culture of Literacy in our school and have been working with the grade 5-8 teachers to build their classroom collections. When purchasing these two titles I was thinking of my own grade 7 students and thought these would be a good addition to my own classroom library. My plan is to first read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (first installment) that I borrowed from the library so I can read the second during the break. This isn't a book I would normally choose (I love fantasy and post apocalyptic books)  but I tell my students to try something new and feel like I should take my own advice. I will let you know what I think through my Twitter and Instagram account with the #kcireads.
