I teach on a military base. All my students have a parent/guardian that is an active duty member of the Armed Forces and come from all over the country. The Easter Bunny is Coming to....series is filled with bright and colorful pictures, perfect for celebrating a new season. Each book showcases the landmarks of its state; allowing students to make connections to the places they've seen and lived. It helps students open up and share their experience. This is my overall goal; getting students to make connections, share their experiences, and become the teacher.
My students are the very definition of diversity; I want them to share that. Each day for five weeks surrounding Spring Break, students will get to take turns picking 2 - 3 from a different state to read about. Paired with a class map of the United States, we will move our Bunny across country coloring each state that we've read about. This is a great way to introduce the students to geography and the 50 states.
