The Sisters Grimm-The Fairy Tale Detectives

I am fortunate.  I really am.  I have had the opportunity to teach every grade level at the elementary level.  I have even had the opportunity to teach Special Ed and Gifted.  I love that I know where my 2nd graders are coming from, and I am equally glad that I know where they are going.

Sometimes when I switch grade levels there is a big jump...like this year..I went from 5th to 2nd.  (Not my biggest jump...but, a pretty good jump nonetheless)  I was a little worried.  There are things that I 

L-O-V-E about 5th grade and things that I knew that I would M-I-S-S, but I also knew I would find things to L-O-V-E about 2nd grade.  I was right.  I did.  I love teaching 2nd grade.  

I had mixed feelings about Read Alouds.  I love that I can read picture books out loud and show the pictures.  I love that.  Every bit of it.  I was sad that I would have to abandon some of my favorite chapter books for reading out loud.  But, then I got to thinking....  Did I?  Some, yes....some no!  

One that I decided to hold on to is The Sister's Grimm:  The Fairy-Tale Detectives.   Students are so engaged and think that they are truly a big deal because they get to listen to a book that I have read to 5th graders.  There are so many teaching opportunities, and the students love talking about plot lines and characters when there is more "meat" to the story.
