November Book of the Month
October's Book of the Month
This month's Book of the Month was Ish by Peter Reynolds. All of Reynolds' books are inspiring and just make you feel good to read them. Ish has been one of my favorites since the days I taught first grade.
September's School-Wide Book of the Month
September's Book of the Month was Last Stop on Market Street by Matt De LaPena. I was so excited to share this outstanding book with our teachers! Besides the book, classroom teachers were given an online resource guide and a Prezi that listed similar titles available in our library. Our Math Coach even made a "Math Talk" guide for using the book in math lessons. So cool!!
If you haven't read Matt De La Pena's Newbery Acceptance Speech, take a few minutes to do that. You will be inspired!! Here's the link!
School Wide Book of the Month Club
Last year, I received a grant to start a School Wide Book of the Month Club. After reading Scholastic's article, (Click Here) I knew this would be a perfect addition to our already-existing One District, One Book program. I love the idea of providing common texts for teachers to encourage collaboration! I started the year with one of my favorites, Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great. I attached a note about the book along with some online resources and activity ideas. I can't wait for next month's book!
