I am just wondering what everyone thinks about the new grading program. Do you like it? Will you use it? What don't you like about it?
Personally, the grading program is stressful for me. Often times your work is graded and in my hard copy gradebook but I don't enter the assignment into the computer until every person has turned in the assignment, which usually means I only update a few times a quarter.
Do you think this is something that your parents would like?

As part of my "Summer of doing things for me" I have decided to review my readings. As you can see below I am part of the summer reading challenge. The first book that I read was a classic book by Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper. I would have to say that this was one of the best books by Picoult that I have read. I really do enjoy her style of writing, where she writes from multiple character's perspectives, but she did an extraordinary job in this novel. Her character work was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed her character work with the older brother Jessie. She made him such an interesting character and a great addition to the main story line. I think I connected to this because I see everyday how student react to the various situations in their life. I also loved the ending. I of course won't give that away here, but it was a classic twist Picoult ending.
