Teacher Appreciation Week - May 3- 7, 2010

If you can read this, thank a teacher.  How cliche, but true! This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.  If you are searching for a way to thank a special educator, check out these titles.  Don't forget your Principal, they are teachers too!

Thank You, Mr. Falker, by Patricia Palacco.  Autobiographical in nature, an emotional story for one little girl's quest to learn to read. Previously reviewed, this autho creates wonderfully inspiring stories, with strong characters and thoughtful messages.More book titles by Ms Palacco will appear in future posts.

Another title - My Great Aunt Arizona, by Gloria Houston, follows a pioneer teacher through the eyes of her niece.  Touching the lives of many, she is a classic picture of the teacher from the one-room school house.

And then ......... there is The Teacher from The Black Lagoon by Mike Thaler.  Many stories with this theme.  There is also The Principal from the Black Lagoon.
