- Short Story: "Three-Century Woman" from Past Perfect, Present Tense by Richard Peck
- Notes: I was supposed to do reader's theater with this group, but the hurricane took us out of work for two days, and I never got a script together. This made a nice consolation prize. One of the girls took this book out right away, and many of the other kids were interested in knowing abouy Peck's other books.
- Books: When Autumn Falls, Growing Vegetable Soup, The Busy Little Squirrel
- Rhyme: Corn Grows Tall
- Flannel Board Song: I Like Soup (based on Laurie Berkner's "I Feel Crazy")
- Song: Brown Squirrel
- Notes: The teacher requested a harvest theme. This group was late, and I had a class scheduled right behind them, so they got a somewhat abbreviated session.
- Book: Let's Go for a Drive by Mo Willems
- Song: Hat, Coat, Pants, and Shoes
- Notes: This latest Elephant and Piggie book has the worst ending of the entire series.
- Book: Stella Louella's Runaway Book
- Notes: This book is excellent. A winner every time.
Catholic School Fifth Grade: November 8, 2012
- Reader's Theater: A Donkey to Market
- Notes: The kids were shockingly into this. They read with lots of expression and their teacher prompted a nice discussion about the themes of the story afterward.
- Book: Jim Henson: The Guy Who Played with Puppets by Kathleen Krull
- Notes: A huge hit. They got a little rowdy and thought Prairie Dawn was Miss Piggy, but it was such a success I'm building a program around this book for December.
