In our classroom, my partner and I do a read aloud everyday! We are each responsible for brining a book and we read our stories to the class after our morning routine (morning meeting). Our teacher lets us go to the library and check out books under her name and we can take them home to read ourselves before we read them to the class. Two weeks ago we discussed fairy tales and fables with our students. They were able to make connections between the books we read to them and the qualities of those types of stories. We also read fall themed and Thanksgiving books during the appropriate times. Some books that have gone over very well in our class are:
- The End by David Larochelle
- The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams
- A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting
- Press Here by Herve Tullet
- Memoirs of a Hamster and Memoirs of a Parrot by Devin Scillian
What are some books that others have read that your students have enjoyed?
That is impressive that your partner and you do read alouds everyday. I think that is great practice and must help you a lot. I have also gotten to check out books from the library and there is such a good selection of books! Today I got to read 'The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners,' and the students really seemed to love it.
