This post simply serves to provide information to use when making that decision for yourself and your cohort of students. Teachers are professionals and should make their own informed decisions. These 5 titles were specifically chosen because I have personally known teachers who’ve found themselves sitting across from administrators and parents defending their choices. This post is not about banning books. It was not written to tell teachers they need to take any of these books out of their classrooms or that they can’t share them with their students. Instead, the purpose for writing it is to make teachers, who may not have read all the books in their library cover to cover, aware that these five titles have the potential to elicit parental complaints based on the language or topics they include. The problem that comes with children becoming independent readers is that the adults do not always know what is happening on the pages of the books a child is reading. We need to be aware of any potentially unfavorable or controversial children’s books that students have access to. Once students are reading on their own, teachers can have their enthusiastic learners complete independent learning projects such as animal research reports or biography projects where the students read books on their own to practice note-taking and writing skills.
Teachers can start to implement literature circles or book clubs to introduce children to the amazing concept of socially sharing a good book. family involvement at home and in schoolĪt some point in their elementary career students magically transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” As they become stronger readers, a whole new world is open to them.SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM.organizing classroom supplies and teaching materials.teacher time management and productivity.
