Reaction to the Schu Jonker Top Three

20 Dec

This morning Mr. Schu and Mr. Jonker announced their pick for the top 5 books of 2012. I knew that my students would be excited to see number one, so I decided to film their reaction. I hope that the scene in my room come Newbery, will look a lot like things looked today.

    Colby,
    This is awesome! On a long day before break, I watched it twice because it made me smile so much. Thanks! :)

    They sound like baby birds chirping, “Ivan? IVAN?” So great.

    This is great! With the right person (a good librarian or teacher) to introduce kids to books, this is how kids will react to books. The second graders I read to are super enthusiastic like this too. Where are the reluctant readers? There are kids who find it more challenging to read, but I do not find kids who are reluctant.

    I love how excited they were! Who says kids of this generation do not like to read? Thanks for sharing!

    Hope you don’t mind but I included a link to this video as part of my review of The One and Only Ivan. I love the anticipation and excitement of your class.
