My last few days as a stay-at-home-mom are coming to a close... Thus begins the mad dash of anxiety to get back in "teaching mode".
Currently, my students are reading a novel together in class... It's not a regular thing for me to assign one novel for ALL kids to read. Usually, I have them choose groups and choose a book from my book club collection that's on their level. They map out their readings and assignments then discuss them in class.
But my sub (with the help of my wonderful teammates) chose a really good book from our book room. My school doesn't have a traditional library. Instead, it has class sets of various chapter books. Tucked away on the shelf was a little gem: The Adventures of Charlie Pierce: The Last Egret.
