One of the things I look forward to most on vacations is staying up late reading. I love that I don't have to worry about getting up in the morning, so I can stay up really late reading a good book that has grabbed my attention. A couple of the books I plan to read this break are:
Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner
Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich
Other than that, I'll just see what books catch my eye at the Book Bin or the library and I'll read what I feel like at the moment.

Think About Books for Break
Okay, we are coming up on a 2 week vacation and I don't think any of you want to lose the progress you have made in class so far. I know it's busy and it's easy to forget about reading and school, but I would like to help you make a plan for the break.
In your blog today:
1. Read other student's blogs about books they have read and make at least one comment.
2. Write down which books you think you might like to try reading over break. It can be one that you are currently reading, one that you borrow from me, or anything else you have at home or can borrow.
3. Also, tell me when you plan to do your reading. You should try to read 15 minutes to 1 hour per day.

Fix My Paragraph
The following paragraph has 10 mistakes. Copy the paragraph, paste it into your blog, and fix all 10 mistakes.
Indian reservations are areas of land given to Native American tribes by the united states government. In the 1850-60s the government decided to move indians to land that were unwanted by settlers many of the tribes did not want to move to new lands and refused. Soon the government sent in the U.s. Army force them to move to the new reservation lands. this caused many bloody wars between the Indians and the U.S. Army. Eventually, most Indians did move to the reservations. Today, reservations are run by their own tribal council, and less than half of Indians live on the reservations. Many of the Indians who live off the reservations live in large western cities. Like Phoenix and Los angeles.
