Just finished listening to this one and I really liked the story of a teenage girl working to prove a homestead claim she inherited in eastern Montana. It’s a great story about the hardships of homesteading, perseverance, and how friends can become your chosen family. Fun fact: this Newbery Honor winner is inspired by the author’s own homesteader grandmother, Hattie! Of course now I want to read the sequel to find out what Hattie does next!

🚙 Hubby and I listened to this on our road trip last week and loved it. The characters and the storyline kept us interested through to the end.⁣
⁣
💙 But I have to say the ending caught us by surprise. Our book club had a lively discussion while I was away, and I just had to talk to a couple of the ladies about their impressions when I got back! We all agreed that we loved the book.⁣

What about you - have you read it? What did you think?⁣

I started back at my small schools this week and had fun reading these books to my classes: ⁣
⁣
❤🧡 K & 1st: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗛𝗼𝗴 by Greg Pizzoli and 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 by Mo Willems. We passed around the stuffed pigeon as we each shared our names and favorite colors. We sang Emily Arrow’s “𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗠𝗲.” We talked about the characters’ feelings throughout both stories. ⁣
⁣
💛💚 2nd & 3rd: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 by Debbie Bertram. Question of the Day: What's Your Favorite Color? As we read the book, we discussed whether we’d enjoy the types of books shown. Afterwards, everyone shared a type of book they would like to read. Then we practiced searching the library catalog for books we’re interested in, whole group, with a couple of students trying it (I projected my iPad for all to see.). ⁣
⁣
💙💜 4th & 5th: 𝗠𝘆 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 by Malcolm Mitchell. We began by reading the author’s note, which details Mitchell’s early reading difficulties and set the stage for the story. These students had lots to say about how 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 it is that he is now an author! Several of them took books out of their desks that they had written themselves, so of course we agreed that they might also become published authors in the future! I had just enough time for a very quick library catalog demo with this group. ⁣
⁣
⏩ The libraries at these country schools are quite small and do not have an online catalog. We are going to learn how to use our public library’s catalog instead, since the bookmobile visits these schools on a regular basis. ⁣
⁣
⭐ It was fun to see the kids for the first time after the summer break and to meet lots of new students too! 𝙄 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙤𝙤, 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨!!⁣

🎶 Your Name is a Song 🎶 by @authorjamilah and illustrated by @lupencita is an important story and teaching tool about the importance of names. A variety of names are featured in the book, with pronunciations included. The glossary in the back gives further insight into each name. We need to do our best to get names right. A fantastic back-to-school book for all ages! 🎶
