Selecting books from our intended “February List”, I wrote up and displayed a brief blurb about each one, then had students vote on the ones they most wanted to read aloud and discuss together.
In addition to our current daily read-aloud (C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"), we'll read all three picture book winners over the coming weeks, and use them as the basis for both grand conversations and CAFE reading strategy lessons.
