New Book Topics For 2010/2011 School Year

This summer I am spending some time revamping our Member’s Area for Teachers.  This includes new lesson plans, examples of what is expected for our art wok, king of like exemplers, a central blogging area for teachers to share ideas and much more.

Also, this summer I have been spending some time thinking about new topics for books for this coming third print season.

I have had a few ideas that link with the curriculum, some of these are:

• Our Favorite Canadian Animals - Students write about what these animals look like, where they live and what they eat. *Science Curriculum Connection*
• Move Here Today - A persuasive writing activity where students get a chance to write about their town and why someone should move there. *Language Curriculum Connection*
• Top Ten Movies - Students get a chance to write a movie review.  *Media/Language Curriculum Connection*
• Top Ten Books - Students get a chance to write a class book review of their favorite story.  *Language/Media Curriculum Connection*

Of course, we will still be completing our narrative stories that will be focused on Character Education.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.  I would love to hear your ideas.

Thank you!  I hope you’re enjoying your summer!
