Yo, Ms. Amos!

We all survived the first week of school.  Whew!

I have created a pbworks website for our classes at:    http://yomsamos.pbworks.com/

We will mainly be using this site for group projects and project display purposes.   My classes can also be found on Edmodo here:

Ms. Amos’ Edmodo

You received a class code to enter your Edmodo class, so refer to your syllabus for that.  And you can always ask for another one if you lost it!

This year we are going to attempt to read a novel in each class, or at the very least read enough of a novel to entice you young readers to check the book out of our library to read the rest!  I’ll be updating my Library Thing widget over the next several days to show all the books I will have in my room as well.  Keep in mind, these books are all from my personal collection or ones I have purchased with the intent of putting them in our class library.  Many of them are more female-heroine fiction, because my daughter and I are avid readers, so I’m perusing ebay to beef up our male character based stories too!  We want a gender-neutral library.

As an aside to parents…I will be periodically having our librarian review my book purchases & Library Thing widget before bringing the books to the classroom.  I will not have time this semester to read every single book before I put it on the shelf, so I will be using her expertise to weed out questionable titles.

Have a great weekend!
