Book Buddies

4/18/2016

Need a simple way to motivate young readers? During IDR time, or quiet reading, encourage them to grab a "reading buddy" to read with. It will of course need some modeling and management. Model to students what reading with your buddy looks like and express the importance of changing your buddy choice so everyone can have a turn with the coveted pig. I'm thinking we'll definitely need one of these in the reading room next year.

Book Tasting!!

This Week's Book Tasting Has a Special Place in My Heart ;) 

That's right. I had to start off our first Book Tasting  with one that is near and dear to my heart. Extra Yarn, written by Mac Barnett and Illustrated by Jon Klassen.  Two of my all time favorite author's together in this masterpiece. The first time I read Extra Yarn, I thought it was cute. Not much more than that. But then, as my first graders asked to read it again, and again, year after year, it became a part of us. All things classic are this book. A beautiful testament to positivity, values, simplicity and generosity.  Mac and Jon have wrapped their words and pictures around our hearts and left Extra Yarn at the very top of my list. Try not to love it.

Teachers and parents! This is for you, well, for your kid. You won't believe some of these reading nooks. Here are some great ideas on how to spice up your reading space or spaces (over achiever!)

The classic teepee is obviously a favorite. Easy to pick one of these up on the internet, throw in a couple pillows, a small round rug, string lights and you've set up the ultimate place for reading wonder! 
Is this not the best thing you've ever seen? It's not like you don't have extra camping stuff laying around. Some chairs from Target and some trees you can find some multi-talented teacher to help you  make. I just love this one. 
I've always wanted to have a canoe in my classroom. Throw some pillows in it and it seems like a great place to cozy up. I haven't seen any I can snatch up yet, but if you beat me to it, you should definitely give this one a try.
