I also enjoy audio books while taking road trips.
A preservice teacher just asked to borrow, I survive books.  Great series for kids who love history plus facts.
Delightful to see the power of magazines like Highlights.  Can you start gathering magazines for your classroom?

I also loved audiobooks. Even as an adult, I love listening to someone else read to me. I do think though that it is important to have the book in front of you to follow along. Sometimes, I can get lost in the words or in my own thoughts to pay attention to what is being read to me, but if I have the book in front of me I am more likely to listen and may more attention and I think the same goes for children.

I did not become infatuated with these books until about 2017 when I had to buy one for a class I took at Duquesne. These are by far my favorite stories to read to children because they offer so much. They are rich in history, but also present it from a child's perspective, which makes it relatable and easy to read.

The Giving Tree is a classic and my all time favorite book. It teaches so many things and can be used in so many ways within the classroom. You can explain to students that all kinds of people give things to you and you give things to others as well.

A Lesson idea could be what others give to you and how and what you can give to others.

I did not get Highlights sent to me personally in the mail, but let me tell you they were my favorite part about visiting the dentist! I used to love doing the hidden picture pages while waiting to see the dentist. Even though not much reading took place, it helped me problem solve and learn to look deeper into things!

Lesson Idea:
How can we look through the world and see things differently? Such as the Nana saying, " Trees get thirsty too... Can't you see that big on drinking through a straw?" Seeing the world differently can help students understand that just because you might not have something everyone else has, you are not missing out.
