Just ordered my book! Looking forward to being part of the book study and reading his new addition! How exciting!!! <3
That’s great Sheri, so glad you will be joining us!
I can’t wait to start talking about this book. I just started reading the book and it is so good and informative!
That’s great Jayne! We’re so glad you’re joining us 🙂
I just ordered my book but it says it has a delivery date of July 10 to 25. Hope it comes quickly! I am having knee replacement surgery on the 16th so an on-line study will work for me. I should have plenty of time to read.:0)
Where did you order it from Dinah? If you have a Kindle it is available there for instant delivery. Best of luck with your surgery!
I ordered through Amazon.
I received my book last week and have already started reading it. Absolutely love it! I can’t wait for the book study to begin.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the book so far Kathy. I just love the way Jim writes, he speaks directly to the teacher within me.
I have original RAH, but have never been on a book study about it. Have the updated book now and look forward to the discussion. Will be on the mountains of WV working in an ed project. No Internet access, but 3G may keep me in the loop. To the hosts: big thank you.
Kudos to you Deborah for joining in from the mountains! And some people say teachers have the summers off- they have no idea!
I ordered mine for my Kindle and read chapter1 the other day while getting a blood transfusion so I am ready to go! So excited to be a part of this group – I read the first edition years ago when it first came out – guess I’m showing my age – so much has changed ,but so much is still the same!
