Book Talking

Today was a great day. The room was loud, but in the best way possible. Students were talking about books. I love book talk day. It is a chance for students to not only share what they have read but to find out what others are reading. Hopefully the day helps students find the next book that they will love.

I was amazed by the creativity that filled the room. We had tickets inviting you to a book, we had posters announcing a lost dog, we had sections of a book read in the character's voice, and it just kept getting better. The room was filled with a gorilla and a young Jedi and a famous author as students gave their book talk as a character from their book.

Not only were the book talks amazing the books that we were talking about were great books. Today we heard about:

• How to Steal a Dog
• Hatchet
• Flora and Ulysses
• Marvin Redpost Series
• The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
• The Jedi Academy Series
• The One and Only Ivan
• Diary of a Wimpy Kid
• Big Nate
• How to Be a Perfect Person in just Three Days

On and on and on the great books went and this was just day number one. I cannot wait to hear the rest of our book talks tomorrow. 

Hope you are having a great week.
