The Olympics

Sorry that I haven't posted in quite a while, but I have been concentrating on recreating several syllabi for this fall. OK, that is true, but I am also spending a lot of time watching the Olympics.

The Olympics have always been important to me (mainly the T&F events), but this year, it seems as thought I watch everything I can. To tell the truth, I will be glad when it is finally over so I can get back to more reading. Of course as soon as the Olympics are over I will start watching football (The Ohio State Buckeyes & the Indianapolis Colts). The bottom-line is that at times I lack self-control to turn off the TV and pick up a book. Sorry, but that is just the way I roll.

I have a plan to integrate my students' responses to their children's literature readings to this blog, so hopefully that will give us more books to explore. Classes start in about a week, so we'll see if this pans out or not.

Happy Reading,
Dr. Quinn

Maybe soon you will be able to read Michael Phelp's new book thereby pairing your love for the Olympics with your love for reading.
