The current book I am reading usually travels around with me in my work/grad school backpack or in an oversized black tote. The exact part of my backpack is in the large compartment, right between my Chromebook and iPad. When I carry my current book in my tote, I'll place it in the laptop compartment with padding, to give my book extra protection. I'll usually throw in a water bottle and snack in my purse, so I like to have my book protected.
I usually like to wake up around 4:30 or 5 am to help my mom make breakfast and lunch for my family. Around 6 am, I head to work to prepare my classroom for the day. I greet my 6th-grade students at my classroom door at 7:45 and we start class at 8:30. I have 5 class periods that I teach ELAR. Four of my class periods, I teach from 8:30-12:39. I have my lunch and conference period from 12:40-2:15. During my lunch, I like to catch up on some reading for at least 10-15 minutes of my 30-minute lunch. I teach my 6th period and intervention time from 2:18-3:55. I work the bus/car rider line until about 4:15. After work, I like to make any copies I might need for the next day. Wednesday through Fridays, since I don't have grad classes, I arrive at my house around 6. I'll work out, help cook, and eat dinner. The little reading appointments that might be possible during my day would be after 8 pm, right before bed. On the weekends, I like to make reading appointments either for Saturday mornings or Sunday evenings.
My favorite place to read is in my bed with my Hooga reading light, with a nice cup of hot green tea. The only books I can read on my bed are books that I read for fun, self-selected books. In order for me to study at home, I would have to read my textbooks either at my kitchen table or office desk, but they have to be completely cleaned off, with no distractions. I have to have my study place completely clean because if not I will start trying to organize, clean, or get distracted by another task. I've never had to read on the bus but during long road trips with my family, I like to read romance, fantasy, or memoirs. I have tried to read textbooks during road trips but tend to get very distracted and unmotivated. I can get very easily distracted by the smallest things, to deal with this challenge, I like to play instrumental music that I don't know the lyrics to the original song. I also like to have a small nee doh ball to ease any anxiety or stress.
I like to share what I am currently reading with my boyfriend, little sister, mom, and students. I sometimes think about telling about my book to my teammates at work. My classmates usually give me great book recommendations, last semester, one of my classmates recommended me one of my new favorite books, Educated. I wonder about my professors reading, I would love to know what book recommendations they may have for me.
I would choose to read a young adult book if I wanted to pick something that would go super fast and that would give me no problem at all. On my book bucket list is the young adult historical fiction book Esperanza Renace, it is the Spanish edition of Esperanza Rising. I have read Esperanza Rising, the English edition, 3 times now, but I would love to read the Spanish edition to my little sister.
