Children's Literature

I really enjoy Language Arts Methods, especially because of the wide variety of children's literature I have been introduced to.  There are so many interesting books out there that are easily incorporated across the curriculum.  I thought that I would share with you some of my favorites:

• S is for Sunflower-I love this book because it makes the alphabet real world.  The illustrations are awesome, plus each letter is tied together with a Kansas theme.  The side panels also include the historical context.  This makes the book applicable to young and upper elementary students.
• Cookies-I really enjoyed this book because it shows valuable life lessons in a language that younger students can understand and relate to.
• The Story of Miss Agnes-I enjoyed this book as a future teacher because it gives great examples of effective teaching strategies.
• Clementine-A children's chapter book that is similar to Frindle, but told from a girl's perspective.

These are only a few of my favorites!  There will definitely be more to come :)
