November is National Novel Writing Month
If you are feeling adventurous take a look at the National Novel Writing Month Young Writers Program. I'll be working on the adult challenge - a 50,000 word novel by the end of November! Here is how the program works for all you young writers out there. Let me know if you decide to give it a try.

In the future I'll write up a proper review about this book. For tonight here is a book trailer for Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld.

The Commute
I imagine most Creek students will enjoy having no school on Monday. All of the teachers will still be going to school for an entire day of professional learning. I actually can't wait to get in the car tomorrow! My commute to Prairie can take 25-30 minutes each way. This hour of driving has become something I look forward to thanks to audio books.
Last week I finished listening to Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham. I plan to read book 2 The Abduction this week and will write up a response to both books soon. In the meantime here is a fun commercial for the series:
Cued up for this week of driving is Fever Crumb by Phillip Reeves.

Hitting the Books
I've been busy taking two classes this summer but they are nearly complete. Now I can begin to turn my attention to this pile of new books from the Iowa City Public Library.
Do you have a pile of reading at your place? Share pictures....
In addition to getting back to more reading I will be posting here more frequently.
A few posts back I wrote about using Edmodo for summer reading discussion.
I posted a question today about your suggestions for magazines to include in the Prairie Creek Library.
It is very simple.
1.) Go to http://www.edmodo.com
2.) Create a student account using this group code for the Creek Summer Reading Club - ardukm.
You pick a username and password. If you choose to include your Creek email you can receive notifications when club members post new comments or topics.
3.) Then we get started! You can post information about books,magazines, comics, or anything else you are reading or plan to read. Others can join in. This should be a fun space to share ideas.
