Ask Jason Anything? Okay, here we go!

Back in December, our favorite author Jason Wright announced the debut of "Ask Jason Anything" on his blog.  He invited folks to send in video questions, promising to answer them online.  Well, what an invitation!  Of course all my students were all up for this challenge!  Here you can see them in action (well, actually you can't because they are incognito to protect their identities online - but don't they look great!) and didn't they do a great job?! 

We can't wait to "see" our answers!

Happy New Year - or Happy New Day! (#4)

Welcome back to school and to a new year!  I've missed you!  I hope you had a wonderful break and have come back ready to read and work!  :>) 

 A new year always signals all kinds of new beginnings, new resolutions and goals, and fresh starts.  There's just something about having a clean slate and being able to start over.  You know, most of us get a fresh start - a chance for a new beginning - each and every day that we wake up on this earth.  Why wait for a new year?  Start today - a new day - to work on a new goal or resolution.  Every day should be a Happy New Day!

Now - down to business!  For today's blog I would like to hear your predictions for the book we've just started reading, Blue,  by Joyce Moyer Hostetter.  Where do you think the story is going from here?  What do you think is in store for Ann Fay Honeycutt and her family?
