Ms. Knight Reads- July 2017 Edition

While I had a FUN and busy July, I was still able to get a lot of reading in this month! If there are any books you want to know more about, please let me know in the comments!











To learn more about Global Read Aloud, check out the website. This is a great way to connect your class with others through the love of reading. I would love to talk with you about GRA and help you get started if it's something you're interested in! :-)




As always, please let me know if there is anything you would like me to differently/add to make this a better resource for you! What did you read in July? Share below!

Ms. Knight Reads- June 2017 Edition

To say it's been a long time since I posted a blog would be an understatement. The one about Follow the Moon Home? Yeah. That one was written last year, and I forgot to publish it. OOPS!! I did update it with information about it being a nominee for the 17-18 Texas Bluebonnet Award though, so I feel like that counts for something.

If yo've ever had the chance to talk to me about books or follow me on Twitter, you know that I'm a part of an amazing group called #BookVoyage. We are a group of 10 educators across the country that read books, share our thinking on post-its (our Post-It game is STRONG), and use Voxer to share our love of reading and our lives with one another. While I've never met them in person, I consider them some pretty great friends! It's nice to know how many people love to read as much as I do! This has given me the opportunity to read and review some fantastic books before they are published, but I wanted to have a way where you could go back, see what I've read, and not have to scroll through 1,000 tweets to find something. As I move forward, I'm open to suggestions to improve, so always leave feedback in the comments!

For the month of June, I didn't read near as much as I planned to. I spent 2 weeks in Italy (swoon), and then came home to move 6 days later! As I write right now, I am surrounded by boxes and bags that I just can't bring myself to unpack just yet. ALL OF THAT TO SAY- here's what I read this month, that I think you should read, too!












 Let me know if you want me to continue doing this once a month, and how I can improve it for YOU! :-)
