share book recommendations via google keep

Recently I was sharing google keep ideas with some teacher friends, including sharing lists with students to help keep them on track (pun intended). Then I realized I hadn’t shared specific book recommendations via keep with students. I thought about how meaningful it could be for them if educators took the time to curate a special, individualized book recommendation with them! You could include links, but I just made a short list for a train fan as my first try. I edited my keep header slide to include my bitmoji so they would know that it was a book recommendation note from me right away. I would then add them as a collaborator so they could see and edit the list. You could even make a list of what you are reading in a specific genre and share that as needed… ideas are aplenty!

batty about bats and spiders are NOT spooky

Love all the things about October- so I HAD to make rooms to promote arachnid love and the cuteness of bats. I updated the bat room I used last year with a few new books and crafts, and the spider room is not overly Halloween so it can be used to celebrate literature about our many legged friends all year. To make a copy and edit in your own bitmoji click each image. The bitmojis do have links, so preview them and decide if you would like to apply them to your own.
