RESOURCE TALK / BOOKMARKS : PAGE PEEKERS with CHOCOLATE FACTORY FRIENDS - With the new WONKA movie coming out in December 2023, I thought you might need some fun bookmarks to celebrate! These feature character art by "Melonheadz" as well as quotes and song snippets from the book and movies -- plus a few chocolate-flavored quips to finish up 12 unique designs!
The bookmarks are available to print in full-color or blackline, AND you can choose to print a combo (as shown) or just one single design. See more details at...

RESOURCE TALK -- It's about that time! Want a library guessing game that mixes predictable text, kiddie costumes, and the joy of making some purposeful noise? This resource for littles is probably my FAVORITE for fall!
If you already own it, I added a PART 2 last fall-- without raising the price. So please re-download -- or check out my preview on TPT, if you're interested in learning how to play!

BOOK TALK – BIG BROWN BEAR’S CAVE / Hhmmm, there's something not-quite-right about Bear’s cave. It just doesn’t feel like home. When he notices that humans have caves, too (their garages) he realizes that while their caves are dark and dusty like his…there’s one BIG difference. Human caves are FILLED UP WITH COOL STUFF! That’s what he needs – some STUFF. So… he starts accumulating all kinds of things right away! (Of course… those of you who need to have a garage sale (like me!) can probably predict that MORE STUFF is definitely not the solution Bear needs! WARNING: This story may convict you to clean out your garage! :)

RESOURCE TALK – UNDERSTANDING MYSTERY VOCABULARY / Use this spooky-vibed PowerPoint (or PDF) to teach the language that we commonly read and hear when we’re enjoying mysteries! My book talks and note-taking guide will have your students using words like suspect, victim, alibi, and foreshadowing in no time!
You can use my titles or favorites from your own collection. (Just copy-paste your own cover photos on top of the templates.) HINT: I’ve used this successfully with 4th-7th grades, and it is a GREAT lesson for observation days because the kids are so tuned-in and busy!

BOOK TALK – THE LEAF THIEF / Squirrel was just lounging around, counting his blessings, when suddenly he realized….one of his leaves was MISSING! (Someone must have stolen it!) And with that startling thought… a search began for the leaf thief!

EXPLORING AASL and YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARY STANDARDS
I`m just curious -- does your state have library media standards?
In Arkansas, we have state library media standards for K-12. These are aligned with AASL. What does your state do?

RESOURCE TALK / DEWEY SORT-A-SHELF - This library center focuses on sorting "books" into categories based on the Dewey Decimal System. There`s also a fiction or nonfiction sort for younger students.
Kids will "shelve the books" by using clothespins, paper clips, or velcro -- or they can just plop them on top! (There`s a "cheat sheet" to make it easier -- and the font was recently updated to make the titles easier to read!)
