5. Celebrate?

My reading goal for the year was 52 books . . . a book a week. I met that a while back. Still working on recording titles and updating the format of my “handwritten system” because I really wanted to emphasize broader categories of texts this year. Pushing on beyond:  professional, YA/children’s lit, mystery/suspense, nonfiction.  But that’s another post.

Celebrating a new source of data from Goodreads . . .

My Review Stats

Goodreads collects the year of publication so I can view the “age” of the books that I’ve reported on that site as read. 

What else is on my list/mind? 

  • My part in our NCTE presentation.
  • Choosing sessions to attend at NCTE.
  • Wrapping Christmas gifts.   

What’s on your list?  What will you be celebrating?




Thank you, Two Writing Teachers, for this weekly forum. Check out the writers and readers here.

Random celebratory events that were all possibilities for a blog post.

Process: Beginning with one word (#OLW). Brainstorming. Collecting ideas. Sifting through thoughts. Vignettes of celebrations curated in one post. Reflecting on my #OLW:  Celebrate! (How do we demonstrate this for students?)  Opposite process of beginning with many words in this post.

Celebrate – published post!

  1. I do NOT envy you the first snow! I enjoy living without winter and am already dreading my visit to Korea in just over a week because of the anticipated weather (although I will definitely celebrate seeing my son!). I love your OLW ongoing reflection- a good reminder for me!

    1. Enjoy your family time. I hope the weather behaves for you! My goal was to at least reflect “quarterly” on my #OLW. I will have to check on that for sure!

  2. Keeping your word front and center as you finish out this year with a bang! Can’t wait to see you at NCTE!

    1. Thanks, Margaret! Celebrate has served me well this year!
