I applaud your work to bring these books to your students. You aptly described MS student: "One day my students are trying to outrun their childhood, and the next day they are thankful being a teenager is not within their grasp." I admire MS teachers, like you, who help students hold it all together with literacy and build "empathy through poetry."Alice Ninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302512837699702430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-284152044407403152017-04-01T16:23:17.857-04:002017-04-01T16:23:17.857-04:00Leigh Anne, it is wonderful that you are able to b...Leigh Anne, it is wonderful that you are able to build a pre-teen library that will will engage your students. Congratulations on winning the grants and making this happen. The book,Walking on the Boundaries of Change, caught my eye. I am training 6th grade teachers on scoring the ELA assessment and we were trying to look at the texts and questions through the eyes of real 6th graders.

This few you shared are wonderful additions for your kids. It is such a transition period. While I have so many poetry books for all ages, if you're teaching poetry and sharing too, one of my favorite books that I used often is titled "Important Words" by William Brown. I see it's only available used on Amazon, but wanted to share with you. Have a great weekend!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-14237182803739943902017-04-01T09:51:31.173-04:002017-04-01T09:51:31.173-04:00What a delightful gift on its way to your classroo...What a delightful gift on its way to your classroom! Kudos to you for creating this poetry project. There are some titles I love - Poetry Speaks Who I Am, A Maze Me, This Is Just to Say - and some new to me titles I want to request for book club. Thanks for sharing these covers. Love this sentence from your post - "One day my students are trying to outrun their childhood, and the next day they are thankful being a teenager is not within their grasp." You already know this new group so well. Happy weekend, Leigh Anne!Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.com
