Black History Month & Gallery

Black History Month — these titles represent the depth desired for my instruction and learning.

These are good reads for me and good reads for my students. These books cross a range of topics, genres, and history. These books can be used in the classroom. These books can be utilized for personal reading.

I do my best to make deliberate choices to ensure a wide range of titles, authors, stories, and voices are heard/seen. Finally, I am specifically showcasing these books because I can recommend them; I have read them all and I can attest they have plenty to provide any student, any teacher, any reader.

Gallery & Classroom Tip #3

I recently had the opportunity to visit a teacher friend in Seattle, Washington. I saw this in her classroom and first thing I thought was: Why didn’t I ever do this?

Absolutely brilliant classroom management and classroom decor–all in one. Beautiful colorful circles–one for each person in line, all forming the line the teacher wants.

Favorite Books & Gallery

Diverse literature must be meaningful. I received this for my birthday earlier in the year and it is simply amazing.

It’s too long to be read in a single sitting, especially for the younger kids, but it is full of wonderful, RAD women. It’s nonfiction, a genre not as readily utilized in the primary ages, it highlights a history not readily included, and it covers the alphabet–add this to my favorite alphabet books!
