Our district does One District, One Book that every family receives K-12 free of cost to promote reading at home and as a family.
Schools and families read throughout the month of February and end with a culminating event during my Read Across America Week.
This year we are reading A Boy Called Bat.

I create a March Madness Book Bracket each March. I teach in Indiana, so it’s a natural tie in during this time of year.
I choose books that are SEL related, because we often need them this time of year, along with books that will continue to help me create a culturally responsive classroom.
This year’s bracket is below and will start tomorrow and continue on thru March and into April as needed until we decide on a winner. 20 books are included and ensures that I will read aloud two books a day for the next 35-40 days.

Our school chooses a theme - this year is circus. We have a Scholastic family night and daily activities!

We have theme days based on different books.

We have different theme days this week too! The kids are loving it and it’s only the first day! On Friday we will end with a book character parade which is always my favorite!
