I don’t know about you, but some years, books will sit on my shelves collecting dust unless I push them out for my students to see.

I have updated this link with a freebie! Click here to get there. "No, David" is one of our favorite books to begin the year or use anytime we need a little review of what our classroom expectations are. One corner of our classroom is devoted to David and our school rules. We read the book several times then the students chose one rule they thought was especially important to them and they typed their rule during Computer Lab time. Then each student created a picture of David and they turned out AMAZING! We had so much fun with David this year that we decided to use iMovie to create a short video of David following the rules and showed the video to the entire school. How FUN! If you would like to view the video you can see it on my classroom webpage. The poster shown above was printed at Staples. I used PhotoShop to edit the title to fit our lesson and class.

Book talking changed my life. And while that might sound dramatic, it’s entirely true. Book-talking was one of the first consistently meaningful things I did with my students (besides forming relationships) because it led to effects that lasted long after students’ time in my classroom was over.
