Week 12

This week we read books in honor of Thanksgiving. Here are some of the titles we shared.    

Thanks for Thanksgiving by Julie Markes

Read to: CDC, Pre-K, and Kinder

Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano

Read to: CDC, Pre-K, Kinder, Primer, 1st, and 2nd Grade 

Thanksgiving Day by Anne Rockwell

Read to: Primer, 1st and 2nd Grade 

Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet

Read to: 3rd and 4th Grade

To get into the holiday spirit I decided to share Thanksgiving books with all of the classes this week. In some classes we had discussions about the first Thanksgiving or shared what we were thankful for, and in others we talked about what would be a good disguise for a turkey who is trying to get out of being eaten for Thanksgiving dinner (the storyline in Turkey Trouble)! 

With 3rd and 4th Grade I shared one of this year's Texas Bluebonnet nominated books, Balloons Over Broadway. It is a biography about Tony Sarg and how he created the Macy's Day Parade. It is an awesome book and I felt like it was a perfect time to share it.      

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
