Book Sharing
Each week every student takes home a bag full of books from our classroom library. Throughout the week we spend time enjoying these fiction and nonfiction books with family members. On Thursdays we return our book bags to school and have our book sharing circle. In the sharing circle everyone has an opportunity to share a favorite book from the week. Students give book recommendations to their friends and show specific parts of the story that they like. Sometimes students share interesting facts that they learned from nonfiction books they read. Then students get to choose new books for their book bags for the upcoming week. Of course students frequently choose books that were recommended by their peers. The book sharing circle encourages students to discuss favorite books and characters. This is just one more way to help students share their excitement about reading. We have a whole classroom full of readers!
