    I've often found useful reviews on this blog

    I've been reading Bob's blog ever since he started it and haven't found him wrong yet :) If he recommends it I usually buy it. We also share the cost with the English Dept every year and get Bob down to talk to the classes - worth every penny and he's not expensive.

    Yes, I agree Bob is a good reviewer. He is also a good presenter. Whangarei Boys High School has a 'Dads and Lads' evening with him which is very popular. I find that all the books he speaks about become popular and it's good to be the first to know about them.

    Liked this as an idea for a library based school poetry day - Poem in Your Pocket Day to share with others throughout the day after researching a poem in the library. A previous site referred to a new book 'Firefly July and Other Very Short Poems' by Paul B Janeczko (Candlewick) coming out soon.

  • If you open a Google Doc or Spreadsheet you will find a new option in the menu bar named Add-Ons. An Add-On is a way to add functionality to Docs and Sheets through integration with 3rd party apps. It's similar to the Google Chrome Apps store. 
  • There are many useful tools to Add-On to Google Docs to improve the efficiency of working in Google Docs. You'll find Add-Ons to help you get your own work done, and also for use in the classroom.

  • their brains have the ability to change and grow through their experiences (neuroplasticity)
  • he human brain is like a muscle that can be trained through repetition and practice.
  • When students realize this, they develop a growth mindset: the belief that abilities can be developed through commitment and hard work
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • respond in casual ways
  • Model growth mindset so kids can see it in action
  • Allow students see that you are willing to learn and try new things, even when they are hard for you, and be honest when you try things in the classroom that are out of your comfort zone.
  • Let students see that learning new things, taking on challenges, and rebounding after making mistakes are all a natural part of life and help train your brain to grow stronger over time.

    We, too, can play our part and model a growth mindset.

    Click on Graham Bell from Police Ten 7 and listen to him read some of the Wonky Donkey;-- very funny  -- click into the segment to 35:25. It sounds like he's looking for a suspect.
