#mustreadin2018 spring update

This is my #mustreadin2018 spring update.  I love participating in this reading challenge hosted by Carrie Gelson of There's a Book for That because it connects me with a community of readers and encourages me to read newly released books to share with my students.  Here is my #mustreadin2018 reading goals:

So far, I've read (or are currently reading) all of the newly released titles on my list plus some additional new titles.  I'll be back in September for another reading update.  Below are my lists of new picture books and chapters books that I've read in 2018 since January:

The 1st graders built leprechaun traps after reading this book.

Beautiful book!

This is a definite 2018 Caldecott contender!

This new Mo Willems' book does not disappoint!

Fans of Rosie Revere will enjoy this one.

LOVED this book!  It makes a fun read aloud too.

Chapter Books I Read - #mustreadin2018

Stunning illustrations and kids LOVE the story read aloud! 

A must have for ELA teachers.  The prompts inspire creative writing and the responses make entertaining stories to read aloud.
