[MOSAIC] Book for beginning year

[carlsonca at dist102.k12.il.us]

HI, all,
I will be working with new teachers in August 6th and 7th. I would like to
purchase a newer title to add to our Trait Crates (they have lessons with
both a six trait lesson and reading strategy lesson). In the past I have
used First Day Jitters by Julie Dannenberg and Chrysanthum by Kevin
Henkes.

Any newer titles you would recommend?
I like to model ways to use the picture books for writing strategy,
reading strategy and ways to use it to meet our social emotional goals.

I did purchase The Three Questions, but this training is with teachers who
haven't met each other before, so I need something with a light touch but
that is meaningful and can be used in a variety of grade levels.

Thanks,
Carol
