I am an Elementary Education Major! These are some books that I would love to use in my classroom! {Reading should not be presented to the child as a chore, or a duty. It should be offered as a gift. -Kate Dicamillo}
Kids LOVE Pete the cat! You can take this book in many directions in the classroom! One way that I thought I would use it would be to connect the story to a writing activity by letting students draw or create their "school shoes" and write about what they do when they wear them.
