Blogging

Hi,
If you have been a follower of this blog, you've seen this photo on an earlier post. In fact, it was one of my first blogs, done probably last January. This picture of my dog, Suki, has now been added to the blog on a permanent basis. Yesterday I learned how to add a "gadget" and Suki's picture is now at the bottom of the frame on the right side.

Another addition to that area (another gadget) is where I hope to post books I've read recently along with a quick review. The book I wrote about this week is a new one by Kate DiCamillo. She is one of my favorite authors because she is an outstanding writer and really stretches in the variety of stories she creates. Some of her titles are: Because of Winn Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tullane. Her latest book (see below) did not enthrall me the way others have done, but others may love it. As I tell the kids, "If everyone loved the same books, it would be a boring world".

This blog provides me with a quick way to keep in touch with students and their families at home. When I tried to keep up a webpage, I just didn't keep it current and an old webpage is worse than nothing. So far, blogging has been easier for me to tackle each week. I'm hoping that the upcoming PTO newsletter (print) will bring more readers to my blog since it is mentioned as part of "In the Library Media Center". It would be nice to get the two-way communication that blogging can provide, but with busy library days I simply cannot moderate any comments.
Soon I hope to add more library news - new books, class activities, and research project done by students. Stay tuned!
