Thanks for sharing! I'd never seen that Suzanne Collins series. My son is in high school, but he'd probably like it anyway.

As a ve...Thanks for sharing your ideas, Stephanie. As a veteran teacher, I have always believed strongly in the power of read aloud. As a special ed co-teacher, I have not always been able to see it implemented in the classroom! My favorite book of all time is A Wrinkle in Time. My 6th grade teacher read it to MY class and I've read it myself many times over the years. When I see former students, they often mention it. With themes of love and individuality, it's a great choice for middle schoolers. Several of last years students were SO excited to see me and share that it had been made into a movie. <br /><br />I totally agree with you about not making kids do something when the teacher reads. They should be engaged and drawn into a whole new world, not given another task! We also have enjoyed The Westing Game, Tuck Everlasting, The Whipping Boy and The Landry News by Andrew Clements to name a few. Thanks for strengthening my resolve to see this happen in our classroom this coming year!

Last year I started almost every day with a read aloud and it was amazing!! <br /><br />Next session,I plan to do some faves like Seedfolks, A Long Walk to Water and one from Chronicles of Narnia but I also would add Tuck Everlasting, one or two Andrew Clements, a Percy Jackson, a Harry Potter and Shiloh. My goal is to stick with it every morning. I'm hoping to read the Wild Robot too this summer break. It's so popular!

We have similar taste in read alouds, too. The Wild Robot was a book I kept hearing/reading about, so it's on my TBR pile for the summer. <br />Just a heads up, under There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom I think you want the word "perennial" instead of "perineal". Perineal means something VERY different! ;)S Hollsteggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086127877377024135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-61595498044652480552018-07-02T10:48:02.768-07:002018-07-02T10:48:02.768-07:00Thank you Barbara. :) I love that you use the pu...Thank you Barbara. :) I love that you use the puppets too. You are right. The 5th graders are still just kids and they love all of these types of things! Never too old for read aloud (or puppets ;) )<br /><br />Stephanie~Stephanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00302695374678919562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-85010567019306216242018-07-02T06:48:38.608-07:002018-07-02T06:48:38.608-07:00Thank you, Stephanie, for your continued inspirati...Thank you, Stephanie, for your continued inspiration. I love that you still read aloud to our older students and will forever maintain that they are all still kids, just in bigger bodies. My 5th graders still love the puppets and gasp as they come around the corner to my room as they see which one we're using to help problem solve in our Leadership Lab. I'm so proud of you and your work!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926426214201766983noreply@blogger.com
