Sharon Draper's Out of My Mind is an extremely powerful book that I love using as a read aloud in my classroom. Students learn life lessons about acceptance, being respectful and the power of a smile. It is typical to hear students begging for you to read on at the end of read aloud as they travel through the journey of life with Melody, the main character.

First Day Jitters
First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg is a highly recommended book for the first day of school. Students come to understand that teachers also have "first day jitters" and it is normal to be nervous the first day of school.
This book allows for great discussions allowing students to open up and discuss their fears for the year creating a great classroom environment.
