"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." -Charles W. Eliot Charles Eliot said it best. In addition, they help students learn about themselves, about others, and to be transported to a magnificent world that they may never have the ability to see, but through books, they can "see" these places and live these experiences. Each year, my students read a Beehive nominated book to report on. It has become a tradition and is something that they look forward to doing. It covers the four domains of ELA: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students will read about historical events; significant contributions from unlikely people; people overcoming great obstacles, and books that will aid in socio-emotional growth. I teach at a Title I School; whenever students at our school get books given to them through donations, it is like they have found the chocolate bar with the golden ticket in it. Even though these books will remain in the fifth-grade library and shared with the other fifth grade students, they get overjoyed to be able to take a book home to read for this particular project. The students will be reading a book independently, presenting it in a creative way in front of the class. For example, students can make a trophy case for the character, a designed cake with edible images on it, a movie trailer, creating a "fake" Facebook​ page for the character, a three-dimensional story pyramid, a diorama, etc. Be that "golden ticket" for these students. Help provide them the magical experience to read a Beehive nominated book and get lost in it.
