We have been learning that expert readers make connections from the text to themselves to better understand their reading. We read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst.
What text-to-self connection did you make?

It is here! The shelves are stocked (well, they were) with school supplies ready for the upcoming year. Call me a nerd, but I love school supply season. In fact, I have been known to stalk Target stores waiting for the supplies to arrive on the shelves. As a child, I can remember shopping for school supplies with my mom, and I loved it. It felt so good to have the new list of supplies I would need for the upcoming year in my hands. Smelling the scent of a newly opened box of crayons, and watching as my mom meticulously labeled each and every crayon KSB are among my favorite memories. This year I was thrilled and surprised to find that they make scented pencil boxes. You could choose from bubble gum, strawberry, and grape. Oh, such difficult decisions in life. Why didn't they make that kind of stuff when I was in school??
So, as you can probably imagine, I will have a big smile on my face when I open my new package of Mr. Sketch markers and Papermate marker pens in assorted colors this year, and arrange them neatly on my desk. It is here...School Supply Season.

 As always we headed to our beach vacation with books in tote. One of the books my mom brought was Magyk, Book One in the Septimus Heap series. After I reread Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, she suggested I read it. I devoured it in two days. I was so addicted, we went to a local bookstore near the beach so that I could get the second book in the series (Flyte). Today I started book three, Physik. I highly recommend this series to any fantasy lovers out there. The characters are intriguing and the world of magyk the author creates is fun to envision. I am excited that Warner Brothers bought the rights to turn the first book into a movie. I can't wait to see the characters come to life on screen. Hopefully, it will be similar to what I have pictured in my head. Production for the movie is set to start after Harry Potter is complete. The fifth book, Syren, is coming out in September. There will be a total of seven books in the series. So, if this is making your reading tastebuds water, you should give it a taste.

I can't wait to read these new additions to Bogs & Noble. Hopefully, these will be books that new Frog Bog members will enjoy.
Thank you Brenham and Miller for the gift card that made it happen.

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately -
Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me -
Tell them how I
Am defying gravity!
I'm flying high
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
Defying Gravity lyrics from the Broadway musical WICKED

I love Fall. I love the colors-the deep purple, rich oranges, reds, and yellows. I love carving pumpkins. I love pumpkin bread and pumpkin spice lattes that you can only get at Starbucks during this season. I love fall naps with the roar of football in the background. I love the anticipation of Halloween and the enthusiasm that oozes out of children and adults because of it. I love the costumes (not the scary ones). I love eating all of the candy, turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie. I love Fall.
What do you love about fall?

This is Max. Max is fat. He needs to be on a diet, but he loves food too much. He makes faces. This is one of them. Usually it is his face that persuades us to give him just one bone when he really doesn't need it. But, could you resist that face?
Meet Wyatt. Wyatt is an old man. I like to call him my Eeyore. He always seems to be saying, "Thanks for noticing me." Wyatt has a white stuffed elephant named Ellie that he sleeps with every night. He is not much for cuddling, but I love him just the same.

This is me in second grade. I loved frogs, playing with my friends, swimming, going to gymnastics class, and books. We had mailboxes in our classroom so we could write letters to each other. That was fun. My favorite food was roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy. I started wearing glasses in second grade. I got most excited when my Nana came to visit.
