I have a little sister and she is my best friend in the whole world. I truly believe that there is nothing better than having a sister. We have had our ups and downs, but now I don't think I know how to live with out her.

Last Wednesday I bought two perfect sister books! The story is the story of Maple. Maple is a book by Lori Nichols. Maple is a little girl and her best friend is a maple tree. She loves her tree, but she hopes that she will one day have a friend to share her wonderful tree with. Then one day she finds a small new tree growing next to hers and gets a big surprise that she is going to be a big sister.
In Maple and Willow Together, Maple and Willow are the best of friends and love each other so much! The story talks about their first fight and also how they make up!
This is such a great book for making connections. I recently read that a great way to get kids to love reading is to encourage them to have connections to the text. I have been working hard to find perfect books for these connections. I know that these books were very easy for me to make connections to and the same goes for many of my students.
What books do you use for making connections in your classroom? I would love to hear your connections :)
Happy Reading
Ms. Cara
