Hello from HCS Campus!

We too are reading and gaining steam with the Red Cedar selections.  We're currently reading CatBoy by Eric Walters and many are enjoying it!  Hopefully, some of the students will sign in and share too.

Greetings from Canada

Hello all bloggers from HCS and NDG schools!

Welcome back to a new school year!  I hope you are all reading tons!!

I wanted to post a short entry to share what we will be reading in the coming months as part of our blogging collaboration.

The first two months our book club has enjoyed reading the following books listed on the Red Cedar List and also chosen from our group sharing.

My Name is Parvana  and also the first in the trilogy by Deb Ellis, The Breadwinner
Currently we are reading The Westing Game.

Our next read will be Catboy by Eric Walters.  Our students will be blogging in the coming month about some of these books and wanted to share with you in this regard.  Please feel free to join in this collaborative adventure if you have read any of these books and we will gladly respond:D  We also look forward to hearing about some of the books you may be reading ;D

Kind Regards

Our final few posts....or is it?

I hope that you have all enjoyed looking at the Greenaway and Chocolate Lilly awards. It is great to discuss books on a blog as it gives you the chance to say what you think but also comment on what someone else thinks.

Do you want to continue? I would be happy to help you all continue with this blog if you would still like to share books with each other. We could maybe talk about chapter books that you are reading.

If you want to continue then add a comment to this post and maybe we can come up with a list of books that we would like to share.......

Looking forward to talking to you all on Wednesday.
