My favorite children's book is "James and the Giant Peach" by Ronald Dahl. It is a great book about a little boy and his adventures! Mrs. B
The Great Fuzz Frenzy By Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel
This book is about a dog's tennis ball that got dropped into a prairie dog's hole. The ball causes quite a commotion among the prairie dog family that results in the importance of getting along!
The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg This book makes you want to believe in Santa all over again. It makes you wonder and feel the true meaning of Christmas.
The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry is an awesome book about the rain forest. In it, the rain forest animals give a man with an ax many reasons NOT to chop down the kapok tree. The illustrations are beautiful and the lessons about nature are priceless. Check it out today! Miss Sokan
White Rabbit's Color Book by Alan Baker White Rabbit takes a dip into red, yellow and blue paint. He discovers what happens when the colors mix together!
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. This book is about the imaginary adventures of a young boy named Max, who is punished by his Mother for "making mischief" by being sent to his room without supper. A very "Wild Rompous" follows!
A new favorite book that I read in my class for the first time this year is I'M THE BIGGEST THING IN THE OCEAN by Kevin Sherry. A giant squid swims around bragging to all the other sea creatures that he is bigger than they are until he suddenly realizes that perhaps he isn't really the biggest afterall...
This is my favorite book because it is about a little engine that tries his best and helps out another train engine. The little blue engine has a positive attitude and is willing to be helpful.
This picture book shows many different animals in many different colors. It also shows a picture of a mommy and many different children. It is a great story for students just learning to read. It is also great for building early language skills with non-readers
A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle Meg Murry and her friends tesser through space as they search for her father who has disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government. This book helped me to grasp the concept of moving through space and feeling the presence of others without seeing bodies. Heaven seemed more real. Ms. C.
My favorite book as a child was the book called Angel Unaware. It was written by Dale Evans Rogers about her child that was born with Downs Syndrome. It was a sad book but it made me realize the love that parents have for their children. Mrs. M.
My class loves to read the Weird School books by Dan Gutman. I suggest picking up "Miss Daisy is Crazy" to meet some very interesting 2nd Graders and their extremely helpless teacher, Miss Daisy! The students have a lot to learn but, "It won't be easy!" : ) Mrs. Markwell

I am reading Windy City by Scott Simon. It is about Chicago politics.
My favorite childrens book is First One Foot by Tommi de Paula
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
I have read this book since I was in second grade. It brings back so many childhood memories. The movies don't do the book justice.

The Wind Blew by Pat Hutchins - A day the wind blew and took many things away from different people -an umbrella, a hat, balloon, shirt, letters, etc.

David Goes to School By David Shannon
I enjoy reading this story to students so they can see if they remember the rules they should follow. David does not follow the rules!
The Mitten by Jan Brett
This is a fun book that has sequencing and math in it. This is a fun book to act out and recall facts.
