The thing is, I have such a hard time limiting things to just 10, so as you know if you've seen my posts before, I always get a bit creative with my numbering. And this year is even more special because I have a new job!
I'm transitioning from being out of the classroom as a literacy consultant into a new role as a K-5 school library media specialist.
I am beyond excited, especially to be back sharing books with kids again, and I approached this year's list a bit differently because I've been thinking so much about the picture books I'm eager to share with students once we get back to school, but I also know the books I might choose to read with my K-2 kids might be different from what I choose for my 3-5 kids.
So with all of that in mind, I'm sharing my 10 books for K-2 AND my 10 books for K-5, PLUS my 5 I'll for sure share with both grade level groups, so there's another 10 when shared twice (I told you it was creative counting this year!). I know Cathy will call me out on this (I know, I know, I make it my own, but I love the concept!), but that's ok, because it's more love for picture books, which is always a good thing! :)

Added some of these to my "Must read' list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat "list" err, lists! We have a lot of overlaps, as I chose to focus on 2017 books this year. Congrats on the new position!
ReplyDeleteThis is some very creative counting! Your enthusiasm shines through!
ReplyDeleteI totally get your creative counting. It's such a challenge to only select 10 books. You've given me a couple of titles that I'll be ordering for the Doucette Library of Teaching Resources (Smoot and Where Oliver Fits). Thank you.

I know nearly all of these, want to share that while my going-into-first-grade granddaughter chooses Creepy Pair of Underwear (& Creepy Carrots) often, a very new book you might want to add to your sharing that she also loves is Twig. I like it too, and of yours, love Life & Smoot! Best wishes in your new job!
