Learners will embark on a wonderful journey though the world of children's literature. They may bring a reading buddy to class. Each class will feature a different book from a beloved author, such as Patricia Polacco, Mo Willems, and Tomie dePaola. I will perform a dramatic reading that engages children and captures their attention. Learners will improve their vocabulary and reading comprehension through asking and answering questions. Learners will explore the world through books and conversation. During and after the reading, learners may engage in a STEAM project where they use science, technology, engineering, art, or mathematics to better connect with the story. *These books are planned, but I am open to following the interest of the learners.* Winter/Spring/Summer 2024 Schedule Week 6 - February 11: Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters Week 7 - February 18: Amos and Boris Week 8 - February 25: Strictly No Elephants Week 9 - March 3: Cloudy with a Change of Meatballs Week 10 - March 10: How to Catch a Leprechaun Week 11 - March 17: Jamie O’Rourke and the Giant Potato Week 12 - March 24: Miss Rhumphius Week 13 - March 31: Rechenka's Eggs Week 14 - April 7: Chicken Sunday Week 15 - April 14: The Giraffes Problem Week 16 - April 21: If Anything Ever Goes Wrong at the Zoo Week 17 - April 28: Stellaluna Week 18 - May 5: Pinduli Week 19 - May 12: The Very Impatient Caterpillar Week 20 - May 19: The Little Butterfly That Could Week 21 - May 26: Three Hens and a Peacock Week 22 - June 2: Oh No Astro Week 23 - June 9: Moon: Earth’s Best Friend Week 24 - June 16: Sun: One in a Billion Week 25 - June 23: Brontorina Week 26 - June 30: Pirates Don't Change Diapers Week 27 - July 7: Nugget and Fang Week 28 - July 14: The Sandcastle that Lola Built Week 29 - July 21: Inky’s Amazing Escape Week 30 - July 28: How to Catch a Mermaid Week 31 - August 4: Clark the Shark Week 32 - August 11: A Bad Case of Stripes Week 33 - August 18: Stick and Stone Week 34 - August 25: Spoon Week 35 - September 1: The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes This is an ongoing class, and I hope to get to read with you!
