Who Says Teachers Have the Summer Off? Book Clubs in Session and a Summer Reading Linky!

Summer is here for most of us! I have already seen a ton of blog posts and facebook comments about summer reading taking place. The best part about summer is this is the time when we finally have time to enjoy some books: professional reading or personal reading.

Many of us here at ATUE are participating in some awesome book clubs this summer. Not only are the books chosen rich with knowledge and very relevant to today's teaching, but they are perfect for upper grade teachers. We even have something for (hopefully) everyone with a literacy book and a math book.

First up, 4mulafun, MissMathDork, Fourth Grade Studio and Teaching to Inspire in 5th will be hosting a math book. This book written by NCTM President, Linda Gojak's is called What's Your Math Problem?  

Here are the scheduled dates for this book club:

Next, we have some Common Core literacy action going on with Teaching with the Common Core Standards (Grades 3-5). (When you get to Amazon the picture shows that it is the K-2 book, but it really is the 3-5 book).

Here are the dates for this book club:

And here is the reading schedule. Each chapter will be hosted by one of the following amazing bloggers:
