Everyone loves Curious George! He's engaging and reading his book is great way to set expectations for your students or children when it comes to the classroom, home or public library. In the book George takes a trip to the public library and learns that climbing shelves and riding carts are not the best way to behave in the library. This picture book can be read before discussion takes place about the "do's and dont's" of the library. I have provided an anchor chart with touching points for my classroom library above. It's important for you to keep in mind what and how you want your library to look before you wrap up the lesson and finish up your chart. One important point that I always make with my students is that they need to explore books that they LOVE. No boring books allowed! The reason this is so important is because it leads to authentic reading. If students are taught how to find books they love it's hard to get them to put the book down. Watch my video below for more ideas and standards to tie the lessons into.
