I have truly enjoyed this class so far. I love children's literature, and honestly love having an excuse to read it every week! I especially have enjoyed reading "The Giver" and "The Misfits." Because I have children of my own, I feel fairly familiar with a great deal of picture books. However, I have been "out of the loop" regarding current children's literature for older students. I'm looking forward to reading the next set of novels selected for this class.
I never dreamed I would be a blogger. While I wouldn't say that I "enjoy" blogging, I am thankful for being forced into this experience. I believe that this will be a useful tool that I may be able to utilize as a teacher, and I am grateful that I have had this opportunity. I'm having a fearful response to the upcoming "glog" assignment, although I anticipate in the end I will be grateful for that opportunity as well!
This class has helped me to be a more critical reader of children's literature. As I prepare to teach, I hope to use the information from this class to help me to make wise, thoughtful decisions building my classroom library and guiding my students through their own reading experiences.
