Absolutely, positively NO!
I thought you'd say that! I totally agree although my husband may not.
Where did you get all of those books?
We have a foundation in our district that awards grant money to teachers to spend in their classrooms each year. As long as we are a member, we can apply to get up to $500.
You can get anything you want for your classroom?
For the most part, yes, But I always get books, books, and more books.
These are some great titles!
OH! The Night War. I love that series by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley.
Me too! I was on a panel with her at NCTE. She was a delight!
And Gordon Korman is one of my favorites!
My students love him!
The Probability of Everything was an amazing book!
Her second book is this stack too! I have heard a lot of good things about that one.
Which one are you going to read first?
Now, that is a very good question! Which one do YOU think I should read first?
a space for me and other teacher-writers to share our stories.
Hi Leigh Anne! These title look great - the one I'd read first would be Thing You Can't Say - because I'm intrigued by the title. When i looked it up it's about father's suicide. Important topic but I need some light-hearted joy - so I'd go with Pizza Face. Thanks for the book pile. I'll be exploring them!
ReplyDeleteYou are speaking my love language - books! I love this format and think it would be good to use with my 7th-graders. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy 4th graders LOVED Gordon Korman! I think I would start with Dear Student or Give and Take. I would always allot a majority of my faculty senate money to buy books for my classroom every year.
ReplyDeleteYou can NEVER have too many books and IF I ever really stopped to think about how much I have spent on books in my life, it would be SHOCKING!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too many books! Books are my favorite purchases- for school or myself. That's why I started a LFL so I can pass books on to others.
ReplyDeleteBooks, books, and more books is my mantra! I think you recommended The Probability of Everything to me. So excited for you to have that money to spend on books. I keep my pile from NCTE next to my bed and have read two recently.
ReplyDeleteLeigh Anne, what a wonderful pile of books. Of course, I would say the new Sarah Everett book is a first read. Shape of Lost Things. I wonder if it will be the same characters as her first book. I would be happy to see how Kemi and her family gets along. Another one that looks good is Simon Sort of Says. This was a clever idea for a post, and I agree to that emphatic NO, you can't have too many books.

ReplyDeleteNever too many books! I used to get all the books I could for my classroom library. I got a lot of ideas from Colby Sharp, too. I recognize authors in your stacks, but new titles. Guess I haven’t kept up since I retired! I want to read
The Probability of Everything next.
