Back To School Readaloud Suggestions

I'm starting a new job this fall at a preK-8 independent school. I'll still be the librarian but I have some new duties. The K-4 students will come to the library weekly and I get to do readalouds! I asked twitter for help!

Back to School ReadAloud suggestions for K-4 (via Twitter @MrSchuReads @MyTweendom @CPPotter @Utalaniz @MTechman @ClassicSixBooks @MeganGraff @Librarian_Tiff @StrohReads)  :

  • Incredible Book Eating Boy by 
  • Story of Fish and Snail
  • Little Elliot, Big City
  • My Teacher is a Monster (No, I am Not)
  • Louise Loves Art
  • Pete the Cat and his School Shoes
  • Library Lion
  • I'm Going on a Book Hunt
  • Gingerbread Man Loose in the School
  • Bailey (Bliss) 
  • Library Dragon
  • Librarian From the Black Lagoon
  • Froggy Goes to School
  • Library Lil
  • Tomas and the Library Lady
  • Biblioburro
  • Miss Brooks Loves Books But I Don't
  • Shelf Elf
  • Shelf Elf Helps
  • Number One Sam
  • What Happened to Marian's Book? 
  • Curious George Visits The Library
The suggestions were coming fast and I tried to favorite them all! Thank you, twitter friends, for your generous help!

I'm going to review the curriculum guide to pick some longer readalouds for Grades 3 and 4.  I'm hoping I can do something with genres for either 3rd or 4th and get into a Mock Newbery Club with 4th - 8th. What are your suggestions? How can the library support the classroom with readalouds and other lessons?

Haven't blogged in awhile. Lots of stuff happening.  These are the books I've read in the past month and half! A fair amount but nothing like the good old days.

Some don't miss books were Secret Hum of a Daisy, Sisters, Absolutely Almost, and Naked! I was happy to finish the Ascendance Trilogy and can't wait to talk it up at the new place.

I need to re-read Chasing the Milky Way by Erin Moulton so I can do a proper review.

Will be moving to a new job so will talk about that in upcoming issues. Happy Reading!
