The Colorful Apple

Hi teachers! My name is Sara and I am sharing read aloud tips and books for you to use in your classroom right away! Reading is my true passion and I just love to share ideas with teachers on how to bring books to life in their classroom. 📚

I have lesson plan ideas, reading strategies and more for you, the elementary teacher. Picture book read alouds and novels are an amazing tool to use in the classroom!

    Polar Express is kind of Hit or Miss. I love it because you know I grew up with it both the book and the movie however, with all the recent adaptations of picture books that have come out in the past 10 years, I respect polar Express for actually trying. It doesn't wink at the camera and and doesn't treat its audience like it's dumb Oh one more thing I forgot to put on my initial comment. That is like something the movie should have gotten Oscar for is soundtrack phenomenal and I'm not talking about the parts that are like a musical I'm talking about like the ambient background themes which are pretty timeless.

    The books listed in the dropdown does not match those you spoke about. I hit the "more button" and the list was completely different. my favorite would be Owl Moon; however, I have not read Hello Harvest Moon(but I am intrigued to look for and possibly share next year in my classroom). I know your membership is geared for Grades 2-4, however, could a 5th grade teacher(like myself) benefit from it? Thank you. Alicia from CT

    Thank you for letting me know, Alicia! I just fixed it, so all the links match the video. I do recommend the book club for lower elementary. However, if you email me at [email protected], I can send you a sample lesson! Then you can decide if it will work for you.

    THANK YOU!!! I am actually starting opinion writing and these books are great. I do teach 5th grade, however I use a great deal of your resources and gear them for my grade level. I am truly interested in becoming a member to your book club would it be appropriate for my grade level? I use a ton of picture books and sometimes need some ideas. Please share your honest thoughts and "opinion"(no pun here).Love your videos. Alicia from CT

    I'm so glad they are helpful Alicia! I LOVE that you are reading picture books with your 5th graders. The book club resources are targeted towards 2nd grade, however. I use 2nd grade standards and the activities are geared towards younger students.
