Ten Pin Linky – Reading

July 3, 2013

I am happy to announce that the winner of my pencil sharpener giveaway was Kathy W.  Congrats!  I have contacted Classroom Friendly Supplies and your pencil sharpener should be on its way.  Enjoy!
 
 
I had so much fun looking at all of the math pins last week on this linky so I decided I had to join up again.  This week’s focus is on Reading ideas.
 
 
Here are 10 of my favorite reading pins (in no particular order, of course).  I have tried to give credit to the original source, but two of the pins led straight to images, not to a website.  If it’s yours, please let me know so I can give you credit.

One genre of reading I want to do a better job of teaching is biographies.  I have been scouring the internet (and TpT) for some fabulous resources.  I came across this pin.  These are file folders that have been turned into a biography book report, of sorts:

I have seen this idea around the blogosphere a lot and I really like the idea of using clues to infer what object may be hiding inside of the bag.

    I love the 100 book challenge pin. Any ideas how you might hold them accountable for writing a book on a chain… or would you? Super neat idea for next year if I could figure it out! 🙂

    Hi Kelly,
    As mentioned in the post, I was unable to find the original source of this pin. If I do find it, I'll be sure to post an update.

I love that there are so many great children’s b I love that there are so many great children’s books out there to help kids identify their emotions AND learn how they can work through these big feelings. Today I want to share two that specifically address anger.

Ravi’s Roar (Big Bright Feelings)
@bloomsburychildrens
Ravi is the smallest in his family, which isn’t a big deal. But one day at the park, he realizes his arms won’t reach the monkey bars, no one wants to play hide-and-seek, and he’s too little to ride the big slide. Ravi is so mad that he can’t control his temper and turns into a tiger! Can Ravi learn to work through this anger so he doesn’t hurt others?

I Am a Tornado
@simonkids
Tornado is big, spins fast, and is carving a huge path of destruction. Could he be upset? Cow has been caught up in all of it, but that might be a good thing. After all, Cow is a good listener and his calming presence is exactly what Tornado needs. #SimonKidsCrew

These must-read SEL books would be a great addition to add to your classroom, school, or home library! What are some other books about anger that you would recommend?

Do you love a good chance to celebrate? I do, but I tend to forget about special days throughout the year.🤷🏼‍♀️

Here are two books that feature special holidays, but also recognize that an average, ordinary day can be worth celebrating, too! Swipe to take a peek inside!

Have you read either of these books yet?

Books are a wonderful way to connect with kids of Books are a wonderful way to connect with kids of all ages. One thing I love is finding books that make my kids get a case of the giggles. No matter how many times we have read these books, my kids still can’t help but LOL!😂😂😂

Sometimes a book comes along and I don’t think t Sometimes a book comes along and I don’t think twice before I press Add to Cart. This is one of those books and I think you’ll love it, too!💙

In this story, a family spends the day at the beach. One boy builds a sandcastle while his brothers play soccer nearby. When their ball crushes the sandcastle, it stirs up a variety of emotions. Dad sits down to help the boy acknowledge, name, and process his feelings. 

“Your feelings are yours - each one is okay.
What you’re feeling today may soon go away.
Listen to your emotions - learn how to name them.
Then you’ll know better how to explain them.”

The message that it’s perfectly normal to have a wide range of feelings is one that boys need to hear more often. Pete Oswald has paired his rhyming text beautifully with detailed illustrations that only enhance this must-read book!💙 Swipe to take a peek inside.

The Noise Inside Boys: A Story About Big Feelings

“Life is better with friends. They make the good “Life is better with friends. They make the good times better and the tough times easier to bear.” Unknown

What do you love to do when you’re with your friends? If you are anything like me, it’s not about WHAT you do, but WHO you spend your time with. That’s just one reason I was drawn to Nothing’s Wrong.

In this story, Anders and Jeff are headed out for a picnic. After baking the most delicious apple pie, Anders discovers it was ruined by the rain. Worried it will spoil their outing, Anders pretends that nothing’s wrong, but Jeff gets the sense that his friend isn’t being honest. 
 
Should he give his friend space? 
Should he check in with his friend?
Should he help him out?
Or should he just be there by his side?

How can Jeff be a good friend if he doesn’t know what his friend might need?

This book combines laugh-out-loud humor with a heartwarming message about true friendship. It reminds readers that even when nothing seems to go right, a good friend will be there for you at the end of the day.

✏️I don’t know what to write! Have you hear ✏️I don’t know what to write!

Have you heard that one before? It happens. Kids get writer’s block. When they do, they will need some inspiration to get back on track. I like to use books and I have a new one I think you’ll love!

Birdie usually has no problem creating masterpieces. However, as the end of the school year gets closer, she’s struggling to get creative.

Have no fear, the Storytellers are here!

Soon, Birdie’s school supplies hatch a plan to spark wonder, build curiosity, and inspire new ideas. Will this plan get Birdie’s creative juices flowing, or will she be defeated yet again by her nemesis, the blank page?

This book would be a great addition to your writing mentor texts. It celebrates that kids are surrounded by inspiration and encourages them to begin with wonder.
