Summer Reading
Summer break is a time to sit back, relax and read a book! For those of you who teach in South Carolina, I recommend you check out the SC Book Award Nominees. (And even if you aren’t in SC, I still recommend them!) You can find a list for your level (picture book, children, junior, or young adult) at www.scasl.net. Since I was on the young adult committee, my drama students recorded podcasts for the SC Young Adult Book Award Nominees. You can find them on our school’s podcast page. You can find podcasts for the other levels at the SCASL website, too!
My summer reading list includes:
Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations by Clay Shirky
Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story by Ben Carson, M.D. (Dr. Carson will be speaking at our first District Inservice in August!)
