Poetry favorites were Valerie Worth's All The Small Poems, etc. Love that you're sharing on a Pinterest board.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-84202323792780124082016-03-24T11:36:17.619-04:002016-03-24T11:36:17.619-04:00Cathy,

I love this line "It's a gift to be able to use the author's words to support teaching and learning..." and this "There should be places where we just sit back, without interruption, and enjoy the book for pleasure - where the words fall off the page and into the ears of children, where we laugh, gasp, and wonder together."<br />My favorite read alouds (not already mentioned on your board)<br />Psst! Yo, It's Me the Boogeyman! by Barbara Parks<br />The Great Gracie Chase by Cynthia Rylant<br />Lokie and Alex by Charles Smith<br />You Will Be My Friend by Peter Brown<br />This is just off the top of my head, from the spring break couch! <br />Deb Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357198767241625023noreply@blogger.com
