Reds the epilogue - and I am ready to start. This book came recommended by a blogger friend I thought he UK. It showed up as a link in one of her monthly 6 degrees of separation posts starting with one book and linking it to 6 different books. She reads far more than I do, so I am going to to rust her.

Picked this up in an ELA class I subbed in and it’s interesting. I’ve read Schooled by Gordon Korman and loved it. This one so far so good, just getting to the good part of the big reveal.

I teach 6th grade science in a school that is a majority of south Asians most of who were born in the US. I am early in the oil but I can identify with one of the main characters as she seeks to navigate the tricky practice of compromise. It’s an art I believe Americans have forgotten. Getting the best of two things and growing as a nation(person). Life is complicated. Looking forward to learning more

Clay is starting Astroball: The New Way to Win It All

Great - really enjoyed the book. Of course, O root for the Astros but the lessons I learned from reading the book can be applied in teaching my 8th graders science and social studies - embrace the growth mindset and it’s the process not the outcome. Good advice.
