Funded Jun 24, 2020Thank you so much for thinking of my classroom and students. My students were so excited to see our new books. I could tell they like seeing books that the characters looked like them.
When we started back to school with the students in person, we read Our Class is a Family. We have discussions about how we are a school family and we take care of each other. We made a list of the ways we can be a kind/helpful friend. We made a t chart about making good choices vs bad choices in the classroom.
I had the Leo and Lola books on the table in the mornings and afternoons around arrival/dismissal time and the students could read them independently. Some of the students read them to each other. These were the perfect books because they had great illustrations and predictable text.
One of my students (Molly) really liked looking A is for Awesome! She really loved looking at all the illustrations and asking me about the different women in the book.
My students were able to listen to me read many of these books aloud, look at them independently and with classmates!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Casebolt
