This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
The "How to Catch..." series of books by Adam Wallace are a delightful series of books that encourage creativity and engagement with students. In my role as school librarian, I conduct weekly lessons with all students in the school in grades Kindergarten through grade five. In these lessons, I have shared titles from this series such as "How to Catch a Turkey" and "How to Catch a Leprechaun". After reading the books aloud, the students worked in teams to create their own leprechaun traps and turkey traps. So, not only did the books help their reading comprehension skills, they also helped their STEM skills as well!
I would love to have the rest of the books in the "How to Catch" series so that my students can continue to enjoy the funny and creative stories and to help develop their imaginations.
