August 2, 2010

Three Books Down, Three Books to Go:

440 pages to read divided by 24 days =18 pages per day.


Hey, Chase, Grant, Doug, Jaden, Bennett, Liam, and Anthony,

I hope you're getting dirty wherever you are.

I'm heading for the White Mountains today to camp 'til Thursday with Amy, Liam, and Sadie.  Looks like we'll be tenting in the middle of a bunch of thunderstorms. Oh, that's great. I'll have to be sure to use all of my metal tent poles.  They're watching for tornadoes in Kansas and Minnesota. Does that sound familiar? Check out Accuweather.com to follow the tornado watches.

So, we have three books to go and three and a half weeks to read them. If you start The Homework Machine today, and you read about 18 pages per day, you will be done by next Thursday.

According to our schedule, we would then read Room One in just one week, and end our Summer Book Club with Escape from Alcatraz on August 26th. But, let's talk next  Thursday. It may make sense to drop either Alcatraz or Room One so that we're not frantic the last two weeks.

Please comment: do you think you'll want to read all the books or drop one (and which one)?

Happy reading!

- Mr. Bolger





That's it for now.  Can't wait to hear from you.
