It’s hard for me to believe that I have almost 80 posts in the KBLOG. Thanks to all my supporting subscribers. I am taking a summer break to spend time gardening, hiking, playing with grandkids and beekeeping. KBLOGs will start again in September. Thanks Rich

Summertime is a time to recharge and learn new things. Reading is a great way for teachers, parents and students to expand knowledge and get new ideas. Here are some books you may want to consider for yourself or your students (children).

All books are linked to Amazon.com, I am not endorsing Amazon but just easy to find.
