Double meanings
There really are far too many new technologies for bookish people. I've been splitting my time between here, goodreads.com (find me under beforetoday), and my trusty Delicious Library, where I'm still valiantly attempting to catalog my entire household of books. Here are two new books I'm actually pairing in my classroom for our shared reading:
Amelia Bedilia, Peggy Parish
Yes, I teach 3rd graders, and yes, most of them have read this book before, but I used it as an anchoring experience so all of us were on the same page regarding words that have double meanings (I always loved "draw the drapes").
Regarding the Fountain, Kate Klise
This book not only works well with teaching double meanings and the hijinx that can follow, but it's a great way to discuss the different reasons why people use writing (this entire lesson was inspired by Regie Routman's work). A school needs a new drinking fountain, and the principal inadvertently contacts a fountain designer. The book is entirely made of letters, memos, posters, newspaper articles, and the like, and it's highly enjoyable (and relevant across a wide age range).

This extra fiber created a buffer between the high-GI carb
and your blood sugar and the end of the challenge that she would choose to
keep incorporating the diet into her daily life. We're also not designed to be chronically stressed, but that's another topic.
