In honor of the 100th day of school which will take place on Tuesday this week, I have 100 books to recommend to you! Some of these are books that I have read and some are ones that I want to read. I have divided them up into four categories. Up first...here are 25 professional development books for you to take a look at:
Up next...here are 25 chapter books for you to take a look at...
We are halfway to 100! Now it's time for 25 picture books...
And now for the final 25 books. Here are 25 books to read for fun...
After just listing off 100 book recommendations, you would think that I would not have anything to add to this section. Haha, of course I can't leave my currently reading space blank! I am still reading the book Dry (and drinking lots of water while reading!). I am excited to join in a book chat that starts tomorrow night about this book written by a principal friend of mine:

- If you pop into 3Pz, you will see their genius hour questions that have helped guide them with all kinds of passion projects.
- Thank you for all of the donations to the Wachusett Food Pantry...only two days and we collected so much!

This weekend, I spent Saturday morning at an EdCamp in Franklin. EdCamps are free PD with an "un-conference" format. Basically we build the sessions by using recommendations from people attending. And then the sessions are discussions with the group, instead of a presentation being led by one person. Here is the link to the "board" we created and embedded in the board are Google docs where people took notes during each session. There's a lot of information in here! Maybe something catches your eye and you want to check out the notes and resources: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y38Q0DeX1LDsvzEfcIdfVTuOsysxPpeROSe2m1abzww/edit#gid=0
