Books Make Us Bright

March 4, 2025
**Reading Spirit Week**
Tuesday 3/4 is… Books Make Us Bright!
Here are a couple of more read aloud stories to enjoy:
SMEDS AND THE SMOOS- This is another lovely story written by Julia Donaldson. The story works for all ages because it is a simple but effective way of highlighting the importance of tolerance and acceptance of differences (8 minutes).
FOX IN SOCK RAP – This video shows our kids that you’re never too old to enjoy Dr. Seuss. It also highlights how to get creative and present something that is very well known in a new and unique way. If your class has seen this one, Wes also raps other Dr. Seuss books! 6 min.

For the next few days, we will be sharing read aloud stories to celebrate Reading Spirit Week.
Hope your Tiger enjoys these!
SNAIL AND THE WHALE- This is a Julia Donaldson book (also on the Rad Readers Cubs list 👍). It is well suited for k-2 with a message highlighting that even the smallest creature can achieve great things and make a significant impact (7 minutes).
The Skull- This is a book from both Rad Readers lists as well as an OTTER nominee! Students from all grades can vote on OTTER books in the spring, so long as they’ve read 2 from the list (18 minutes).
