The Twilight Zone

Yes, I have entered the zone...again!

My starting this Twilight series is thanks to several people:

1. My new bunch of 8th graders! During our first class together, I was purely amazed at your excitement for reading! Way to go! (I am sure this is, in part, thanks to Mrs. Roepke's inspiring room and her energy for this topic...thanks, Mrs. Roepke!).
2. My high school students who have just finished the fourth book. Thanks, Adelle, for your commentary about the novels!
3. Mrs. Huff...what can I say? She is a self-proclaimed vampire addict! Be careful around her...in her excitement she revealed a "spoiler," but that was okay...just made me want to read more to see how that spoiler comes to pass!
4. Mrs. Hubbell - I was excited to hear that she is into this series!

We are all excited about the upcoming release of the first Twilight movie release on November 21. Mark your calendars! I'll see you at the theater. In the mean time, though....

Shhhh...I'm entering the zone...the Twilight Zone!

The Journey Begins

This begins a blogging journey with a new group of students in a different building...but on a topic I really like...reading!

As I thought about this class, I decided to read with them and re-start a series that I began nearly a year ago...yes, the Twilight series...yes, book one. Shhh...don't give anything away (no spoilers!), for I know that many of you have already read this series!

Just think, though, it won't be long until we can discuss this book.

Will you be ready? Ready for the journey?
