I found this blog on a classmate's blog and thought it was great! A lot of interesting and helpful ideas!

Laura Ingalls Wilder and the stories that she has written about her life have always been favorites of mine.  I was in third grade the first time that I heard one of her books read aloud to me. From that day on I was hooked!  I have read and reread all of her books many times over the years and continue to share her work with my own students.  I hope that you find this blog interesting and maybe decide to read and pass her books on to a child in order to insure her books and story live on.

Thought this was interesting.  Since I am now teaching 4th grade, I have been looking to learn interesting tidbits about Maine.

A Couple of My Favorite Aimee Buckner Books!


I was lucky enough this past year to go to the University of Maine at Orono to hear Aimee Buckner speak.  She is an amazing teacher of writing and reading.  I have two of her books, Notebook Know-How:  Strategies for the Writer's Notebook and Notebook Connections:  Strategies for the Reader's Notebook that I use all of the time in my Multiage classroom.  Her ideas are very useful and her thoughts very helpful.  Below is the link to her blog.  I hope you find some good ideas there!
