The first week of school is a great time for read alouds! Books are a way to build connections and unite your class. Discussions will help you create everlasting relationships with your kiddos and they will also get to know each other more. I have put together a list of 40 books for both teachers and media specialists that would be perfect to read that first week. Many of them deal with starting a new school year, while others focus on tattling, making new friends and the consequences of disrespectful behavior. I use The Shelf Elf, Tattle Tongue, and Library Lion every year during elementary orientations to teach the behaviors and expectations I hope to enforce throughout the year. The Shelf Elf is a favorite with my students. If you are a librarian be sure to get this book along with SKOOB plush to hide around the library throughout the year. I bought mine here.
Hopefully you will find this list helpful. Feel free to share your own favorite back to school read alouds!
