From owner-lm_net@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU SunFrom: Joan Kimball <jkim@BORG.COM> Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1998 17:05:04 EST Subject: HIT. ELEM. Favorite Thanksgiving stories From: Bonnie Stauffacher <Bstauffa26@AOL.COM> Subject: ELEM: BOOK PUBLISHING VIDEO Thanks to all the wonderful people who answered my last minute target! ( I'll compile a Christmas list shortly.) Joan Kimball Herewith some favorite Thanksgiving stories for elementary with a few notes. Dav Pilkey's book, 'Twas the Night before Thanksgiving, Franklin Watts 1990, was the run-away favorite...very funny, for primary...a poem about kids who save 8 turkeys when they take a field trip to a farm . The numbers in brackets are the number of times a title was mentioned. Cranberry Thanksgiving / Devlin [2] (Bake the bread in the book for 2nd graders.) Eating the Plates: a Pilgrim Book of Food and Manners / Penner (is about the real Mayflower trip. Some 5th graders were spellbound as we read aloud about the harsh realities of that particular journey....also read the part about how they built their first houses...certainly a different point of view from the glossed over animated movies or cutsy stories!) Gracias the Thanksgiving Turkey / Powell (Puerto Rican view. Spanish teacher esp. likes it.) If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 / McGovern It's Thanksgiving / Prelutsky Legend of the Cranberry: a Paleo-Indian Tale / Greene (encourage students to tell the legend when they pass "craneberries" at their Thanksgiving feasts.) Little Bear's Thanksgiving / Janice (Good for K-1) Molly's Pilgrim / Cohen Over the River and Through the Wood [2] / Child Relatives Came / Rylant ( Not about Thanksgiving.... I talk with the children about what relative s they will be visiting for Thanksgiving or who is coming to visit them and where will everybody sleep.) Samuel Eaton's Day / Waters Sarah Morton's Day / Waters Tapenum's Day / Waters Thanksgiving at Our House / Watson Thanksgiving at the Tappleton's / Spinelli (esp. Gr. 3) Thanksgiving: Stories and Poems / Bauer (especially: -Chester the Lazy Turkey-) Thanksgiving Treat / Stock There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie ( a Thanksgiving Pie) (esp. 3 year-olds) Turkey for Thanksgiving / Bunting Turkey Girl / Baker (Zuni Indian Cinderella) (Not strictly Thanksgiving, nice relief for gr. 2 up) Turkey on the Loose / Wickstrom (esp. K-2) Turkey Pox / Anderson [2] (esp. good if snow storm or chicken pox hits) Turkey's Side of It / Smith ( Great to read aloud to 3rd grade...they are usually working on their Christmas program during this time and can truly identify with Adam Joshua's "problem") 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving / Pilkey [6] (Humor. Most popular) Joan Kimball Librarian, Writer, Storyteller. Clinton NY. jkim@borg.com COMPUTER: Power Mac Performa 6115cd Retired from Hart's Hill Elem.

My assistant remembers a segment on a Reading Rainbow program where the process was shown but she can't remember the title. Does anyone know of this or any other appropriate video to highlight functions of the publisher? TIA. Bonnie H.
