Book club teacher member would love a Kindle!

by A second grade teacher

Jun 1, 2011

Now that the master's is done (YEAH!), I've joined and have enjoyed the book selections. A Kindle would definitely help.

How about your schools? Do any of yo...See More

Teresa I had a nightmare last night that we had a half-day with kids before conferences and right before the kids were ready to leave I started looking for the portfolios I had meticulously put together for each child-and they were gone! Funny, I got the kids all looking, then began problem solving how I could get test scores, etc. and I was really feelin...See More

MaryB.............. Hope to do that this summer, treetoad My son and DIL live there and haven't seen them since last summer, when they came home for his 20th reunion. They were to be here for Christmas, but because of the awful weather near Des Moines, they cancelled out on us. I also have a good friend in Coralville, who I last saw last summer (here in S. City) at her MIL's funeral. Looking forward to pa...See More

kd/tx I have a Nook, not the color one.

My daughter has the color one. She can't read in sunlight, but she can get on the net and do many other things.

I wish I had waited 2 months, then I could have gotten the new NOOK that has the whole screen as a touch pad.

I like the Nook because I can download from the library and I can ...See More

kd/tx We are hooked on Words with Friends and 7 Little Words. I have Angry Birds, but don't really like it. I also downloaded Mysteriez and Ant Smasher. Don't really like those either.
