Alycia Zimmerman is a Scholastic teacher blogger and she's absolutely amazing. I've been following her for a while now, and even though she teaches 3rd grade, she blogs about fantastic ideas to use in any K-8 classroom. I was captivated by her latest blog, "Getting to Know My Students as Readers." I love every idea that she has shared and plan on implementing almost all of the ideas in my classroom this year. One that I wanted to share here was using Scholastic Book Club orders to decorate the reader's notebook.
Alycia says:
I bet you have old Scholastic Reading Club flyers lying around somewhere. At my school, they pile up in our office near the mailboxes. My students cut out book covers that particularly tempt them — books that they’ve read or would love to read. They glue the pictures onto the front of a marble notebook and have a bookish collaged cover for their reading journal.
I've always had my students cut and paste photos from home to decorate their notebooks, but this year, I definitely want to try this idea! Anything to encourage reading... and to encourage the sharing of new books!
