Now that July has quickly turned into August, like many teachers and school administrators, I have been thinking about getting back to school. Of course, one of the things I look forward to most is the "focus" of the school year. While we set our goals in May (and actually it is a 3 year plan), we still need to decide how to achieve some of those goals. While one of my biggest passions is literacy, I have been reading a lot of colleagues talking about their Read Aloud selections for the first week of school. I did this my first year as principal but didn't do it last year. And I certainly do regret that. So, this year will be different.As a great way to get into classrooms during the first week, I am deciding on a book to read with students. Being in a K-8 school, it can be a challenge as I don't think one book would hit it all - but I certainly am up to the challenge! I have been following #titletalk who recently had a great chat last week! They gave me some great ideas! I also follow @mrschureads for some great ideas as well! One story I recently heard about was called "You're Wearing That To School?" by Lynne Plourde. Lots of great ideas for Back to School Read Alouds.
I would love to hear your ideas?!
