Instagram Book Talks and Resources

RESOURCE TALK / LIBRARY CART NAME TAGS Do you name your library book carts? Okay, granted that sounds kind of silly... BUT... our book trucks work hard all day hauling books to and fro -- I think they deserve a fun name! 

You could do something like... Dolly CARTon or SHELVE Silverstein. Maybe Clif Hanger? BOOKer T. Washington? Fully Booked or Mario CART? :)
 
This resource includes 32 name tag choices... and a blank one, too -- just in case you come up with a few fun names on your own! 

There's a link in my smart.bio, if you like to see more!

Heading toward sweet summertime!

RESOURCE / I HAVE___. WHO HAS ___? A SUMMER STORY - Whoa...I had a crazy end-of-the-year dream the other night... and it inspired this game!

Students take turns matching and reading 32 cards in sequence to piece together a silly summer story. In the end, they'll find out... yep...it was all just a dream!

Pair this resource with a favorite beach story like Harry By the Sea (Gene Zion) for a fun library time! Need one more activity to fill up your class time? Okay...I added an easy word find, too!

This is perfect for first and second graders at the end of your school year!

BOOK TALK / LIZZIE AND THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL – Because Lizzie loves kindergarten (and her teacher) SO MUCH, she is devastated to find out that the last day has arrived – and it’s only a half-day! Feeling upset, she leaves school at noon without even hugging her beloved Miss G good-bye! Later, she decides to circle back through the building to give that final hug after all. Good thing, too – she might have missed out on a few summer surprises!

BOOKTALK / FLIP FLOPI : HOW A BOAT MADE FROM FLIP FLOPS IS HELPING TO SAVE THE OCEAN - This true story begins in Kenya as Juma heads off to fish with Babu Ali. As they get to the beach, Juma sees hundreds of multi-colored objects floating in the water and washed up on the sand. The flotsam includes many flip flops and other pieces of plastic waste. Feeling thankful that these pieces of trash didn't end up in the bellies of fish, Juma has the idea of racing the floating flip flops like little boats... but Babu Ali -- a boat-builder by trade --has a bigger goal in mind! With the entire community pitching in, they build an ambassador for cleaner oceans everywhere!

This story reminds me of One Plastic Bag by Isatou Seesay and her spirit of innovation to make the world a better place! 

Did you know that National Flip Flop Day is May 31st? See the May Newsletter for Elementary Librarians (in my linktree) for more details!

BOOK TALK / THE CAMPING TRIP – When Aunt Jackie invites her along on a camping trip with her cousin Samantha, Earnestine eagerly agrees! She carefully packs a huge list of must-haves…including a new sleeping bag, a flashlight, AND her dad’s special trail mix. So fun! But…upon arrival…there are just so many outdoor firsts -- like setting up an uncooperative tent, swimming in a lake WITH FISH, a looooooong uphill hike, and trying to fall asleep… so far away from home. Is Earnestine just too far out of her comfort zone to enjoy the whole Cedar Tree Campground experience??
