The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd - Eleventh Grade Burns by Heather Brewer

GREAT!!! I have finished the 8th-10th grade year Vlad books and they are fantastic! They remind me of a cross between Harry Potter and the House of Night Series. I love House of Night, Vampire Academy, Twilight (of course) and Harry Potter so this series rocks! I think Vlad is very true to an actual teen and his experiences in Middle school and High school genuine. Since I am immersed in this middle school life all day, it seems like Vlad could live in my classroom.

Body Vive class at the YMCA. It was fun, not too intense and not crowded at all. I like the Midway Y for their friendliness. They are always smiling and no question is stupid. They are always nice to my kids too.
What I Learned today: I was at Starbase http://www.starbasedod.com/ with the 6th grade. What an absolutely cool program. It was established to help kids learn more about science, math and engineering. I learned all about vacuums and building rockets for mars. we are working with Pro Engineer software to build rockets. The kids are absolutely engaged and thrilled to be there.
Art- I was going to work on my art crawl http://www.stpaulartcrawl.org/ project, but I need nails to strengthen them. I must get them tomorrow, but I have choir too. I have to start on the kids portraits too for 6th grade.
A good day all in all. I could be so tempted to read all day or paint in the park with my friend Mary....................................
