LRC Updates
Summer 2018
NEW and Improved
Fountas & Pinnell Guided Reading
ONE HUNDRED new titles were added to our Guided Reading Collection this summer with a 2018 copyright! Each title also includes a teacher guide to extend learning. A complete list of the new titles can be found here. Even better, more are on the way!
Schoolwide Reference Collection
This isn't exactly new but don't forget we have the mentor texts to ALL the units (K-8th) found on Schoolwide Unlimited. A list of our complete collection can be found here.
Spanish Collection
Our Spanish Collection DOUBLED in size over the summer! We now have two dedicated shelves for these new titles. Be sure to check them out!
Battle of the Books TEACHER TEAM
Do YOU want to Battle? This year we would like to invite staff to join our Battle of the Books team and compete against our students during our school battle. Join the excitement as you work together challenging your team to read all 15 selected titles. This is a great way to connect with our students and add some new titles to your reading lists. Let us know if are interested in joining. (No early releases or sneak peaks at the chosen titles! You must wait just like the students!)
COMING THIS FALL!
TACO 'bout Books
This year we are planning to launch our 2019 Illinois Nominees with sessions to allow our students to TACO 'bout books and explore the nominees. We estimate each session will last between 30-45 minutes. This event is geared for grades 3-6th. Sign up in the LRC if you are interested.
We also would like to host a staff only Salsa Showdown luncheon to examine the selected titles. More details about this event will be sent out soon.
