This month we are highlighting books that share the excitement of summer coming and the school year coming to an end! Courtney and I have asked some of our blogging buddies to guest post with their own read aloud recommendations this month!
Check out these recommendations from Jaime over at Bright Concepts 4 Teachers.
Use for teaching: problem/solution, sequencing, rhyming, poetry
It’s the last week of school and the kids are excited for summer but they don’t want their teacher to miss them. This book illustrates the similarities between teachers and their students and how they are more alike than different.
Use for teaching: compassion, love of learning, friendships
School is almost out and Inch and Miles have one last assignment before summer. Their coach wants to explain the meaning of success. Their journey takes them through experiences that teach them how to try 100% to be their personal best!
Use for teaching: how to be successful in life, self esteem, encouragement, personal best

I discovered Last Day Blues this year! We loved it because I began the year with First Day Jitters. Nice list! -Stephanie Applelight Moments By Stephanie

I love Last Day Blues! I actually bought that book for my amazing mentor and friend who retired this year. I had the entire school staff sign throughout the book and write a little message to her. She loved it!
