Summer Reading 2013

June 10, 2013 by Mary Ann Cappiello   Leave a Comment

The Classroom Bookshelf will be taking a summer vacation, returning on Monday, August 26th. 
During this time, we would really love to hear from you. If you have used teaching ideas from our blog in your classroom, how did it go? What worked? What didn’t? How did your students respond?
Please email one or all three of us. No story or classroom anecdote is too small!

Audio Books for Families 

We love audio books for long car rides with the family. Many public libraries now have downloadable audio books that you can listen to on an MP3 player, iPad, or iPod. Check in with your local public library and share the details with parents and students before the year is over. You might want to search for some of the books included in these lists below.
