This is a great topic and I look forward to reading everyone's thoughts and suggested titles. I like the idea of turning a bad day around and so a favorite title is Mrs. Biddlebox: Her Bad Day and What She Did About It by Linda Smith. The humor and proactive stance of the text are wonderfully enhanced by Marla Frazee’s captivating illustrations.
I haven’t used this with children but I think they’d have fun mixing up elements of a bad day and turning them into something else.

An old favorite of mine is Miss Nelson is Missing. It always works well for the beginning of the year in the library --- especially since
it talks about 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 going to read Mike Mulligan and Mary Ann as well as The Little House by Virginia Burton. Some of those great old classics!! I am saluting a Nursery Rhyme of the Week with KDG and the whole school seems to love it!! Everything 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."
