Highlighting books about soldiers in honor of Veterans Day wouldn't be complete without these three by one of the greats, Walter Dean Myers.
A "trilogy" if you will, of interconnected stories spanning decades of US, World, and military history (WWII, Vietnam, Gulf War/Iraqi Freedom).
For more soldier stories, see my previous post here.
Today I found two new FAVORITES for the newest readers.
Bruce's Big Fun Day by Ryan T. Higgins: Bruce is having a day of "fun" is this newest book in the Mother Bruce collection. Young fans of Bruce will appreciate finding a story they can read all by themselves.
Do You Like My Bike by Norm Feuti: Hedgehog loves his new bike and wants his friend Harry to like it also. Why doesn't he? This is a sweet friendship story with more books promised in the series.
Both books have plenty of humor and the colorful illustrations will engage many levels of readers. Brand new readers will find success with the text.
Add these to your classroom library now, especially if you teach grades K-2.
It is the last day of my Spring Break. I wish I could say that I was doing lesson plans, but let's be real, that was never going to happen. Hello, my name is Shauna, and I'm the queen of procrastination.
Luckily, I did LOTS of reading...and even luckier, I had a streak of VERY good books that I read. In fact, when I sat down to record today's Friday Five, I had a hard time choosing "The 5 best books I read over Spring Break." So, it's pooooooosible there's one or two extras. #yourewelcome
Have you read anything good lately? What does your TBR pile look like?
Happy Friday and Happy Reading!
The knowledge and passion for books for EVERY reader has hooked me! She is in the classroom and just gets readers.
Wowza! One of the best, packed workshops, filled with RELEVANT content, delivered in a well organized, engagingly paced seminar. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to librarians and lovers of literature.
Excellent content, EXCEPTIONAL presenter! The entire presentation was engaging and meaningful. I am excited to have the opportunity to take all of these amazing titles and introduce my students to them.
GREAT SEMINAR! Shauna was fantastic. My booklist is overflowing and I can't wait to share these books with students, and educate my teachers.
I can't wait to get these books into the hands of my students!
Shauna reinforces the idea that there are two types of students: those who like to read and those who haven't found the right book yet. She offers a plethora of resources and titles for both!
