So what I SHOULD be reading is "And the Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Hosseini, but instead, I have been watching too much TV. I cannot get past the first page, in no fault of the book. I think I wanted to read it on paper back but ended up getting the kindle version because it was cheaper and now I can't get motivated to read. I have heard wonderful things about the book and will get started by this weekend. I need to get my mind right and reading always helped me fall asleep and relax before bed. I am also needing to read:
because my students chose this book to read in class. I have found that it works better to have an interesting book to read a few chapters at time to talk about reading comprehension and vocabulary. My students seem to respond better when it is a book they can get into rather than a short passage that they don't care about. Talking about teaching brings up various emotions but that is for another post on another day.
For now, I will leave you with my two reading goals for the next week or two. Go read one and tell me what you think!
Life Lesson of the Day: Stick with your commitments. As much as I want to just throw in the towel and not read the book of the month for my book club, I know I have to and I have to follow through because the book club was my my idea. I have to be a good leader and hope that everyone else will follow. So stick to what you promise to do, especially if you expect others to do the same.
