Dara Beth's Classroom Library
My name is Dara Elizabeth and I am a current student at the University of Montevallo. Below is my blog that contains all of my favorite classroom books that I hope to add to my classroom library one day!
Where The Wild Things Are
Where The Wild Things Are was published in 1963 by Maurice Sendak. This story is about a young boy named Max who tends to break the rules quite regularly. One night Max's mom had enough of his attitude, and sent him to bed without supper. While Max was in his room that night dressed up in his favorite wolf suit, his room began to turn into a jungle and a boat. Max sailed to the land of the wild things, where he was the wildest thing of all. Max ruled the land of the wild things until he realized how much he missed his mom. Although his new friends want Max to stay, he returned home where his supper was waiting for him. As an activity, I would have my students to make their very own Max and write about a time where they felt wild. This book is on a level of 740L according to the Lexile book leveling system.
