Book Talk Tuesday
I have talked about how at our school we start each day with a morning broadcast. Fifth grade students taking charge of presenting the news for the day. A new segment that was added this year is called “Book Talk Tuesday” . . . an inspiration from Michelle “Literacy Learning Zone” and Chris “Reading Amid the Chaos”. . . an inspiration that has become a huge success! Students look so forward to hearing the “tips” for finding new books, as well as guest speakers sharing their personal stories as to why they love reading! Michelle and Chris are electric when they talk books and they inspire students and adults to read . . . read . . . and read more ;-) How lucky our students are to have these two inspirational teachers . . . women . . . role models!

And, you, Lynn, are also an inspiration and mentor to both Michelle & Chris and the students. Kuddos to all of you!
ReplyDeleteCan't think of any better way to get kids excited about books. Cheers for reading!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks Lynn! Even though some days it feels like "something more" to do, it is THE best part of the day! Every Tuesday brings me joy to talk about reading, share fantastic books, and celebrate readers in our school! Just yesterday a student passed me in the hall, smiled, and whispered, "Book Talk Tuesday." It is quite infectious and I'm thrilled that you are always open to our crazy book talking ideas!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is such a great idea and it sure sounds like the kids eat it up! Thanks for sharing!
