*I wasn't sure what to post for this week's "Wonder Wednesday". As I was thinking about the past week, I thought of several "wonder" moments I've had both in and out of the classroom.
*Here are a few moments that captured both my thoughts and heart. Of course they all have to do with reading and books...
MOMENT #ONE
Melissa Savage was kind enough to send me an ARC of her next novel. I abosutely loved her first book Lemons and I'm enjoying this story just was much.
MOMENT #TWO
This picture book came to me via the publisher and I so enjoyed it. I enjoyed it even more when I shared it with my fourth grade listeners. There is so much to think about and discuss.
MOMENT #THREE
I've been wanting to read this book for quite some time. I was thrilled when it arrived in the mail this week via my #bookexpedition Twitter group. I read it in two sittings and can't wait to share it with my class.
MOMENT #FOUR
*These two girls are lucky enough to be reading from a "manuscript" from an author that we have had connections with during the school year. They are reading it and going to share any "ideas" they have for the story. I can't tell you how excited they were to get this "future book" in their hands.
MOMENT #FIVE
As I finished this read aloud, I looked out into the classroom and noticed a boy tearing up and hiding his face in a large pillow on the carpet. He was quite emotional and I knew he had made a real connection to this piece of literature.
