Preparing for the Read Aloud

Check out the Read Aloud Checklist on the blog under Course Tools. These are the pieces you will be responsible for turning in. On Monday you will be given a 2hr. work time to prepare your lessons. It would be helpful if you already knew what books you will be using for the Read Alouds. If not you can use your time to be resourceful and find books at a local library, Barnes and Noble, The Bookstore in Michigan City, etc.

We have recieved word from Peggy Thomas that she would like us to provide a book for the school library instead of for each classroom teacher. She thinks it would be better to supply a book to the school that can be used by all children as opposed to classrooms that have PNC Read Alouds. On Monday we will talk about what a good choice would be for the school libraries. All schools will be given a copy of the same book.

Due to that change you will be able to select any book on the topic of Abraham Lincoln to use for your read aloud. Make sure you select a book that would be developmentally approporiate for the grade(s) you are assigned. The readings for this week; Chapter's 4 &5 from the Tribes book will help you in determining the appropriateness of a book.

  1. Will you be bringing the "Old Abe Lincoln" song book? If you can that would be great. Thanks!
