Book Studies

At the end of last year I asked for your opinions about titles for a book studies. I purchased three titles. How Full Is Your Bucket?, Teaching With Intention, Never Work Harder Than Your Students. I read How Full Is Your Bucket and Teaching With Intention. I enjoyed both books. I especially enjoyed Debbie Miller's Teaching With Intention. Reading her books always excites me and makes me really miss the classroom. I want to be the kind of teacher she exemplifies.


How Full Is Your Bucket is about how our words and attitudes can brighten or ruin someones day. This is so applicable for our students. I realized that the Shelby County school my grandson attends was teaching the students the tenents of this book. He told me that they have to fill up each others buckets and that when you are mean you empty them. This book is an easy read that you can put into practice right away. I have six copies of each book. How do you suggest beginning these book studies?
