~~~~waving hello to one and all. How are you?

This morning I was searching online when I came across this book list List: What Common Core authors suggest high schoolers should read. Can I ever get enough book lists? I sometimes think I read more book lists than books ... sort of like how I read more recipes than I ever cook! Anyway, I haven't looked at the list carefully but am interested in the non-fiction selection.

The reason I was searching in the first place is because Aiden graduates high school in May and I want us to finish strong. Part of that includes having him and Ian pair up with some reading. Good stuff.

I did get back to my blog and you might like my most recent post about Titanoboa. and my favorite Scoop.it article is this one, 3 Time Management Tips That Will Improve Your Health and Productivity. I'm reading it with my teen athletes .

And please pray for our family friend, Kitty. She is the wife of my husband's friend and she is heading into her fifth surgery. She has a raging staph infection that started with a paper cut.

Thank you, ladies, and have a terrific rest of the week

Love,

Well, I don't agree with all the suggestions on the book lists, but the ones that particularly give me pause are the science and mathematics suggestions.

Did you read the comments section there, Jenn? It seems like there is always something within education "movements" that produce angst and a good deal of highfalutin joisting. I'll stay out of the politics!

Love,

Love,


I avoid controversy, so I consistently avoid reading comments at most sites. I'm there to visit the article, not other people's opinions.
