I've been doing a lot of reading so far this summer break! First, I wanted to read something that had nothing to do with creating products for TPT. I started with The Selection Series by Kiera Cass. These books were wonderful. The audience is intended for young teen, but I enjoyed them all the same. I am currently reading the next book, The Heir.
Next, I had to think about my own children. I wanted to read whatever they were reading so I could ask comprehension questions along the way. I was impressed with my 9 year old's choice of I Survived, The Nazi Invasion, 1944 by Lauren Tarshis. I love these historical fiction books that expose our children to events of the past. I got a little carried away and decided to tell him all about Anne Frank. I even showed him the Annex virtual tour. Well, that scared him to death. I think it was the spooky music they played while visiting the virtual tour!
So, now I am off to reading some more of the My Weirder School and My Weirdest School series books. These are the books that made my child a reader, so I have to be very thankful for the author who wrote them. As silly as I think they are, I am going to help promote these books by creating materials to use in the classroom. I only have a class set of Mrs. Lane is a Pain. Therefore, I decided to create a Book-in-the-Bag Check Out Center.
In this center, I will store the brochures I create with the book in a gallon size bag. The students can check out a bag to take home. As they read the book for their nightly reading, they will complete the brochures. Then, I can check for comprehension when the brochures are returned. So, far I have created brochures and final assessments on the following.

You will have to check out my store from time to time because as my children read books, I am creating brochures for those, as well. In other words, I should have several I Survived brochures by the end of summer!!!
Have a wonderful break, and Happy Reading!
