I'm a few minutes late. I was checking Facebook messages and found one from one of my students asking "what is a read-a-thon?" Had to take a minute to answer.
Here are my answers to the Hour 1 Challenge:
Where are you reading from today?
I'm in Michigan in a comfy chair in my livingroom.
3 facts about me …
I'm an 8th grade teacher.
I'm a slow reader. :-(
My friends shake their heads about all the time I spend reading.
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
Right now five.
Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
To read three books I've had for a while but haven't had time to read. EMILY by Emily Smucker is one of the first ones. Supposedly nonfiction experiences of a real teen.
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?
Good Luck! Go Team Woodsworth! ---Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!! Have fun! Found ur blog, and now I'm following you!
ReplyDeleteTraditional read-a-thon blessing:
ReplyDeleteMay the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.
Good luck today!
Thanks for all the encouraging comments.
