It's Monday! What Are You Reading? October 28, 2024

Today I'm linking up with Unleashing Reading for their weekly link-up:

Now that I am retired, I want to keep up with what's current in children's literature.  Reading books to my students was always one of the highlights of my days!

Fun Chapter Book for Elementary Students!

This week I am excited to share a great series by author Judy Blume:

In this easy to relate to series, two siblings - the Pain and the Great One - encounter every day scenarios that the author makes fun and educational.  My students loved when the Pain put a pussy willow bud up his nose.  He ended up in the ER where the doctor passed on an important lesson.  If you're looking for an entertaining read aloud, check out any book in this series.

Perfect Veteran's Day Picture Book:

I recently read The Women by Kristin Hannah so the Vietnam War is fresh in my mind.  The Wall by Eve Bunting is a touching story of finding soldiers name on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC.  I remember how powerful the traveling wall was for me so I enjoy sharing this book with my students.  The Wall is a touching and memorable book that is perfect to read around Veterans Day.

In my personal life, I am currently reading and loving this suspenseful book:

The God of the Woods keeps me up reading at night.  The book is about a young teenager who goes missing at her summer camp.  Of course, I want to know what happens!  If you're looking for a book that will keep you excited to keep reading, this is a book for you!

Thank you checking in!  I hope you learn about some books you would like to check out!
