Currently, I am trying to keep my highest reading group in books. They are flying through Sharon Creech and Kate DiCamillo.
The readers have rich discussions and great writings on what they have been reading and thinking. Each student has a file folder so I can see how the reflecting changes over the course of the book.
This group just finished The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo. Anyone have any suggestions on what else to challenge them with now?
One of the readers came up with the idea to write letters to the author telling her what book of hers is their favorite and requesting that she come visit our school. I love when they want to take it deeper!
