An old favorite of mine is Miss Nelson is Missing. It always works well f or the beginning of the year in the library --- especially since it talks a

bout being rude during storytime. Kind of old fashioned but fun as I have the kids act out good and bad behavior. I get to tell them this is the one time they can be really awful and it's the right thing to do!! :)

For a while all the teachers "took it away from me" but they have moved on to other books now and I am able to use it again!!! This year I am also go ing to read Mike Mulligan and Mary Ann as well as The Little House by Virgi nia Burton. Some of those great old classics!! I am saluting a Nursery Rh yme of the Week with KDG and the whole school seems to love it!! Everythin g comes around in its own time!

Thanks to those of you who shared some of your favorite "School Stories' in the first part of September. The CCBC also has a bibliography on this topic that we created over the summer. You can check it out at:

It's time to move on to our topic for the second part of September: Great Expectations.


Some books offer great examples of positive---or negative---behaviors.

Whether they are funny or poignant, books that honestly and authentically depict characters at their best or their worst offer great opportunities to talk about (or quietly model) behavior and expectations. What are books you've found helpful in affirming your own great expectations for kids in the classroom, in the library, and beyond?

The idea for this discussion topic grew out of meetings we had this summer with a couple of wonderful Wisconsin teachers who spent several days at the CCBC looking at books through the lens of RTI (Response to Intervention) needs. In addition to the reading/literacy component of RTI, they talked about the behavioral component, and the need for books that model or create openings for conversations about behavior and expectations.

(Several years ago CCBC librarian Merri LIndgren created a bibliography for preschool/early childhood teachers called "Great Expectations." Check it out at: 196)
