Growing To Do List


This is the first official post of Confessions of a Book Junkie! Yay! At the end of last year I decided that I wanted to do a lot of new things this year but I knew if I really wanted to accomplish them, I'd have to create a running To Do List to keep myself focused. Even though I've been able to cross a few things off that TDL (including creating this blog), it's been growing since that time. Which is a good thing I think. The overall goal of my TDL is to get my 9th graders excited about reading. These are a few of the things I've gotten done.
  • Update my beginning of school year student survey
  • Update my beginning of the school year teacher survey
  • Create my Wildcat Review Blog
  • Create my Confessions of a Book Junkie Blog
  • Create my Wildcat Virtual Book Club Blog
 I have several ongoing/uncompleted projects:
  • Library Orientation QR Code Scavenger Hunt
  • Bookmarks with QR Code link to Review Blog
  • QR Codes Codes for Book Trailers
Can you tell I'm obsessed with QR Codes? And Pinterest! I've gotten soooo many good ideas from Pinterest this summer that I'm trying to incorporate into my library.



What am I working on today? A reading log! I've done a reading log before, but all I did was "list" the books I read and post them on my door. What I'm going to do this year is actually post "pictures" of the covers of the book. Of course I got this idea from Pinterest. I think the visual will be more effective and hopefully inspire my students to read!


Unfortunately I'm waiting for more laminating film so I can laminate my book covers before I put them up. But, I've already printed and cut them out so I'm ready as soon as the film gets in! 

I'll be sure to post a pic when I get it all up!

UPDATE!!! I finally got my "picture book log" up. What do you think? I'll add more books as I read. 




On to my next project....a "Read Box!"
Have a great year!
The Book Junkie
