TLNing

A community for teacher-librarians and other educators

I am looking to do an author study with my Kindergarteners soon. I have already done Beatrix Potter and their teachers have done a lot with Mo Willems. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am looking to read some engaging stories and utilize technology. It will be for an observation.

I would greatly appreciate any ideas!

Wonderful. Thank you everyone!

Do you do poetry with your kindergarten children?  I have lots and lots of poems for younger children on my website which you can find by Googling JOSIE'S POEMS.  If you have a whiteboard, it is easy for the children to read the poems and many have my voice recordings.  I also have done many Skype visits to classrooms where the children are doing my poems.  I'd love to do this for any of you.  

I loved doing Leo Lionni with kindergarteners. They can relate to the awkwardness of some of the characters. A good website to look at is Leo Lionni; a resource guide for teachers.
