Reading
I cannot remember a time when I didn't LOVE reading - but sometimes it takes finding the perfect book to make reading fun! Here are a few of my favorites, both from when I was in elementary school and from now as a teacher.
My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George
The Ramona Series by Beverly Cleary
Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle (this was the first chapter book my mom ever read to me! I've read it to every class I've had so far)
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
The Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Rules by Cynthia Lord
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh by Robert C. O'Brien
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg
Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George
Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech
