Hello Mrs. Paolino's Class,
I have decided to start a book list made up entirely of books reccommended by my students and I need your help! I think that the best way to find a good book is to ask those around us--especially those who might share the same interests.
So, I am looking for your suggestions. In your posts today, I would like to know what your favorite books are and why? I would also like for you to tell me a little bit about what kind of book it is? Is it a fantasy? A novel about love? A tragedy?
I will then put together a list of the books you suggested which can be used as a resource for you to look at when choosing new books.
Feel free to be as fun and creative as you want with these posts but remember that what you post must be appropriate and have information that will be helpful to me and your classmates.
Have fun!

A Little About Me for My Students
For those of you who are curious, here is a little bit about myself...
I grew up in Waterboro, ME and went to Holy Cross School in South Portland until I was in 6th grade. In the middle of my 6th grade year, my family and I built a house in Gorham and moved there that summer. I transferred to Gorham Middle School and stayed there for both 7th and 8th grade. From there, I attended Catherine McAuley High School for 4 years and had the best time of my life. At each of these schools and all of the various points in between, I played soccer, basketball and tennis.
When I graduated from McAuley, I moved to Vermont and attended St. Michaels College for 2 years. While at St. Michaels I vounteered for the D.R.E.A.M program and played tennis with the women's tennis team. I also took a job as a part time nanny for 5 year old twin boys which, I believe, primed me for any of life's uncertainties involving young children.
Midway through my Sophomore year, I decided that Vermont was no longer where I wanted to be. So I applied and was accepted at Bates College where I attended for my Junior and Senior years. I loved being back in Maine near my family. Additionally, I was able to get back into my favorite sport: basketball. During my junior year, I was able to make the women's team. I played with them for only a year however, because the very next year I was offered a coaching position at North Yarmouth Academy. I took the position and have been coaching there for 2 seasons now.
Currently, I am student teaching and hope to find a job at the elementary level very soon!
