The last few weeks in the library we have been going over routines and rules about book care, where to find good fit books and how to check in/check out. This week we are finally getting to the good stuff – reading books! I’m excited to be sharing with students this beautiful book by Phung Nguyen Quang. It’s the story of a boy taking his first solo journey in a small boat on the Mekong River -but it’s not obvious where he is going! I ask students to pay attention to the language and the surroundings for clues about his final destination. They are often suprised to learn he is floating down the river in order to go to school!
