1st Grade Class VIsits

I had several 1st grade class visits this month.  In the past I have used the same books over and over and over again, so this year I wanted to read something different.  In the end I only read the same two books to each class, but I have many books that I think would work well with the elementary age crowd.

Here were my winners:

The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors by Drew Daywalt

I have two volunteers play Rock Paper Scissors in front of the class. The "loser" would sit down and the "winner" would pick another child to play.  I did a few rounds of Rock Paper Scissors until we read the book.  A hit!

Chicken Butt! by Erica S. Perl

You Know What?  What?

Chicken Butt!

You Know Why?  Why?
Chicken Thigh!

You Know How?  How?

Chicken Eyebrow!

This was a hit with everyone.  Very short and a good book to finish off with.

My new favorite funny book.  I read this to one class and I think they enjoyed it.  I will be reading it again soon.

I am NOT a Chair! by Ross Burach

I really like There's a Bear on My Chair by Ross Collins.  I think you need older children for this title, but it's so great, the illustrations, the rhyming, I just love it.

The next one I found on Storytime Underground.  I never got a chance to read it but I will read it to my Outreach groups this summer.  

Poor Doreen:  A Fishy Tale by Sally Lloyd-Jones & Alexandra Boiger
