School starts this week! Tomorrow, I will get to meet many of the incoming kindergarteners and students who are new to our school as they visit the library to get their pictures taken for their IDs.
This past week, I spent time skimming through our Armadillo Readers' Choice and Texas 2x2 books to come up with a read-aloud plan for kindergarten through second grades. Some, like Oliver Jeffers' Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth, are going to tug at my heartstrings.
Others, like Lucy Ruth Cummins' A Hungry Lion, or a Dwindling Assortment of Animals and Mac Barnett's Triangle are going to give us all the "oooohs", with some giggles.
(We already have Square ordered; this is going to be a fun trilogy!)
I have already shared Niko Draws a Feeling with my art teacher, and will be reading La Princesa and the Pea back-to-back with Who Wants to Be a Princess?: What It Was Really Like to Be a Medieval Princess to compare fiction and nonfiction.
It's going to be a great read-aloud year at Sommer. Welcome back, Stallions!
