The Book Find of the 21st Century

Somehow through click after click after click, I landed upon an amazing book, Teach Like a Pirate by Dave Burgess.  I read the book in one day and was overwhelmed with creative ideas to engage my students more and to get them to want to go to my class.  I will be using this blog to give you an insight on how this book and new ideas change the motivation of my students.  I will also chronicle the book study group that I will be doing.  I hope my blog inspires you.

    You must read it! It has changed my thinking about my lessons and made we super excited for the upcoming year even though I'm in my 14th year! Excited to have you join my blog.

    Thanks for the kudos! Megan over at A Bird in Hand Designs was fabulous in creating the design for me. I'm very excited to be leading a study group with your book. Check back often for updates on how it's going.
