New books

New books are making their way into classrooms via your students. Find a time in your busy day to stop and browse also! I am working on finishing the last 5 boxes of books from the last Titlewave order so please take a moment before new boxes arrive. I have added lots of non-fiction; bright and beautiful non-fiction such as these titles:

• Our White house; looking in, looking out
• Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!; voices from a medieval village by Laura Ann Schlitz, which won the Newberry Medal last year
• Going West! Journey on a wagon train to settle a frontier town by Carol A. Johmann
• Some Friends to feed; the story of Stone Soup by Pete Seeger
• In Aunt Giraffe's Green Garden by Jack Prelutsky
• Poems in Black and White by Kate Miller

Mo Willems new book

Naked Mole Rat gets dressed is Mo Willems' new offering and it is very cute. If you are looking for something light-hearted to read to your students this would be a great choice!! We also have all of his new elephant and piggie series such as Are you ready to play outside? and I love my new toy! Mo also has a great website and blog!
