Scholastic Resources

Since I can't work in my classroom this week, I've been working on a few projects at home. For instance, leveling my classroom library. Whew! What a job! I'm using Scholastic's Book Wizard tool and it's helping me out tremendously!

Speaking of Scholastic, I did a Google search for tips on getting ready to go back to school and this fabulous article popped up! I didn't realize Scholastic offered some of these resources. It's a quick list of 14 tips. Click on the Scholastic logo to check them out!


Which tips do you find most useful! Are there tips you know of that didn't make the list? And just a disclaimer: I love Scholastic, but I promise I'm not getting paid to promote them. This list just seemed too helpful not to share with others!

  1. All of us blog stalkers need to add these to the list:
    1. List of ideas that I have seen while blogstalking
    2. Pinterest List (or pics) that you want to add for beginning of year
    3. The beginning of the year is usually the only time of the year I follow and make a list of things to do/things to make for my classroom, students, and parents

    Only have a couple more weeks and I guess we will all be putting those lists to work.
    Enjoy the rest of your summer!

  2. HAHA! Delena, you're so right!

    #1 - absolutely!
    #2 - I'm on some kind of waiting list and I can't wait to get in!
    #3 - so true!

    And yes. The clock is ticking for sweet summertime! You enjoy the rest of yours as well!

  3. As a parent, I love Scholastic too!! I have a question about leveling books. My son is going into first grade and his reading teacher last year told me to keep him reading at Guided Reading Level D and E books this summer. What does that equate to in terms of numbers? I feel like I need a Ph.D. to figure out what books my kid should be reading. I've googled and found some great alphabet-leveled reading book lists and am cross-referencing these with our library's holdings. However, I'd love to be more informed. Can you enlighten me? deceptively educational @ gmail.com (remove spaces)
