AWESOME!!!!

The 3rd grade girlies met me for Taylor Swift LIVE @ Scholastics!

It was great!

I am not sure who was more excited about getting to see her.

It was neat to hear her talk about favorite books (To Kill A Mockingbird), books that she loved as a child (Dr. Seuss).

A few other classes enjoyed the presentation in their classrooms. You can still catch this at Scholastics until January 28th - it's been taped and saved for our viewing pleasure until then.

Of course she finished out our time together with a song!!

Taylor spells - happy girls! :)

Put it in Gear and Ride!

Of all the books I have read this school year this would probaly be one of my favorites!

Also my pick so far for the VA Readers' Choice! Of course a it's a close tie with The Hunger Games.

Two friends set off on a cross country ride after graduation and their lives are forever shifted into a new gear!

Write On!

Amazing book! I just finished this week before last!

I can't say enough good things about this book except - Lauren Oliver is coming to see us at SA on December 1st! I just can't wait to meet her!

She will be speaking to 9th-12th grade.

If you get a chance to grab a copy - do so!!

READ nNOW with Taylor Swift!

Tons of things have been going on since school started and it has been crazy busy getting into the swing of everything.

I am totally loving watching all the children explode with excitement about reading!!! They are little reading machines and it is so fun to watch them all bloom!!

If you haven't stopped by to see the renovations made - swing by and say hi!

A BIG thanks to the PTO, The Jeanie Pope Family, Courtney Applewhite and wink, wink for helping make the reading nooks possible this year! They are a HUGE hit with everyone!!!
