There is nothing better than when I see students starting to carry the book that I am reading aloud. Over the last few days I have been seeing more and more copies of Flora and Ulysses. Some of the copies are from the library and some are from the latest Scholastic order.
We also added a lot of books by Jane Yolen to the classroom. I was lucky to find a rather large stack of Yolen books this weekend at the library. Today during reading time I saw students around the room reading all types of Jane Yolen books. One thing that I love about having Yolen as the author we are studying is that she has a good amount of poetry books. I noticed her poetry books were some of the first ones checked out this weekend.
We also started to read St. George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges.
Books, books, books....it was a great way to start the week.
