After taking EDU 255 I became aware of all the different options for books and novels that could be used in a classroom. For a younger elementary classroom I would definitely want to not just use specific one or two books but have many options for the students of all different topics that will engage their interests. I think for the beginning of the school year I would like to have “first day of school” books out so that they children can relate to them. Also for holidays like Presidents day, Halloween/fall, Fourth of July, etc. I would like to base the books around that theme. I really like having a central theme but would also like to have a small “library” in the classroom of books of different interest and themes that get changed out throughout the year.
I feel by doing a holiday theme the options are endless for how to apply activities. For example, for Presidents day, if the students were read books about the past Presidents of the United States, they then could write a short story about what they would do if they were President for a day.
