A post about the importance of independent reading--true independent reading--by Jennifer Serravallo, found at NerdyBookClub. Definitely check it out if you works with kids or come in contact with them ever.
A Valentine's Day post from Me My Shelf and I about gifts for kids. I love giving our daughter books as gifts for all holidays. These are some great suggestions!
Jessica Lifshitz wrote a great guest post over at the Scholastic blog about reading logs and their evilness (I may have inserted the evil part there). She has some great alternatives that I'm thinking about implementing next year. I really love the idea of the locker sign and am trying to find a way to make it really work in our middle school environment.
What's Coming Up in March
Although I'm never really sure what I'll be reading and when it'll be posted, here are some books on my TBR for the next month.

I've been wanting to read this for awhile and I finally ordered it for my classroom. I was able to get started on it last week during our snow day! I'm hoping to have something to say about it very soon.
Another book that's been on my TBR list for awhile. A friend just read it and passed it along. So now I *have* to read. :)
One of my Netgalley titles. It has the earliest publication date on my list, so I'm going to try and read it before then so I can get a review out.
Of course there will be plenty more books read this month, but you know me! I don't tend to really follow any kind of schedule with choosing books. When I try I just end up frustrated! Here's hoping I find a really good book this month.
