As much as I'd like to re-read Mindset from last summer and Mathematical Mindsets from the fall, there will be different books in my backpack this summer. Interestingly, traveling with bunches of books for school makes for some unique conversations, and I get to share their content with people far outside the realm of my day-to-day at school.
So what am I reading this summer?
- A More Beautiful Question, Warren Berger
- Make Just One Change, Dan Rothstein and Luz Santana
- Intentional Talk, Elham Kazemi and Allison Hintz
- Weekend Language, Andy Craig and Dave Yewman
Truth be told, I started Intentional Talk on the very same day that it arrived. My only let down so far is that it's very elementary-based - and I specifically bought it because a review said that it was the book of its type that most geared itself towards middle grades (sadly, nothing exists for the high school level, at least to my knowledge).
As for other summer activities, I am super excited to be going to my first Twitter Math Camp! I have been wanting to attend this annual for teachers, by teachers PD since its inception. I actually stalked the TMC Twitter account for hours over the couple of days that registration was supposed to open. I've been through the program schedule multiple times, and I can't wait to actually meet the amazing people of the #mtbos. And, it's in Minneapolis! I've never been to Minnesota so I'm excited for that as well.
