Here's my Currently........
Love beginning the year with a shared reading of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. The students love it and always beg for more. This past year we also received a class set of Superfudge, which we read and also really enjoyed. The students loved taking the parts of the characters and reading aloud. These two books were also great to use to teach dialogue and character traits.
The other book I love reading as a Read Aloud is Owl Moon. This picture book has so many great lesson ideas to use. Here are a few good links to great lesson ideas to use in your class.
One Extra Degree has a some great Owl Moon Lesson Plans
I don't really have a "go to" book that I use in my classroom. My go to for ideas are all the wonderful blogs that I follow! Although, right now I am re-reading The Daily Five for the third time. I have learned a lot from this book and my classroom management and expectations of my students has changed drastically because of this book.
