[@madisonleighmaryan]

Thanks victor!!

Mercy Watson chapter books are so cute, not super long, but great for introducing chapter books and they’re a series! Also, on Get Epic all the Fluffy series chapter books. My students love them and there are a lot and often have ones including holidays and breaks !

[@sarasilva7105]

Wow 7:15 is early for elementary school! When i went to elementary school i started at 9! Has that always been the time your school district starts or just because of COVID?

[@madisonleighmaryan]

That’s always been the time! I know it is so so early but the good thing is that we get out super early too!

[@jodiminsky9720]

Sideways Stories From Wayside School and Chocolate Touch are GREAT read alouds😊. I taught 2nd grade for 27 years and my students always loved these books.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Thanks so much i'll check those out!

My co-teacher and I always read the Magic Tree House books to our kids for about 20-30 minutes before nap time as something to help their bodies calm down, but keeping their minds active. We have kindergarten prep kiddos, surprisingly they catch on to these stories very well, and are able to summarize what we read the day before!

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Those are great books! I’ll definitely consider those!

[@amberburgin458]

When I taught 2nd grade my kids loved Sideways stories from Wayside school as a read aloud and any books from the my weird school series. They are light hearted and silly which keeps them engaged and they couldn't wait for the next chapter!

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Thanks ill check those out!!

[@biblio8681]

Great video! I like that your video is not that very long. I saw some teacher vloggers who has an hour vlog and I find it boring.

[@fatimaliberatore4368]

I have one Penny and her marble I read it to me students it all the time

[@haleydye5455]

Flat Stanley, Junie B. Jones, and the Little House on the Prairie series were some of my favorite chapter books read in 2nd grade

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Omg the skit idea of procedures with the kids is such a great idea! I’ll definitely put that in my notes whenever we go back face to face!

[@madisonleighmaryan]

They LOVED it!!

[@taylorboster1876]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Reading it to my 2nd graders right now and they are always engaged. Mouse and the Motorcycle is fun too.

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Ooo that is a great book, I will have to see if my library has it!

[@Emily-xi4mg]

This has been forever ago, but when I was in 2nd grade my teacher read aloud the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books! They were a hit

[@madisonleighmaryan]

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

[@alanajade4675]

Roald Dahl books are always great for starter chapter books: some are shorter than others like fantastic Mr Fox and The twits 🦊 I loved them in school and will definitely be using them in my classroom 💌

[@madisonleighmaryan]

I’ll definitely check those out!!

[@bellamunro2839]

[@poppyspears5936]

Hi i am in 10th grade and i remember when i was in 2nd grade the best book my teacher read to me was Tuck Everlasting. The One and Only Ivan was also a good book!

[@madisonleighmaryan]

I’ll have to check those out - thanks so much!

[@alexamatejka6735]

Thank you for sharing! I am in my junior year of college for primary ed and that skit idea is definitely something I will implement in my future classroom!

[@pattiesposito3122]

Hi Madison. This past week we read Crankenstein, did a directed drawing of Frankenstein, then on TPT there is a I feel Cranky activity.

[@sarahp444]

Can you link your class's cleanup song in the description? I'd love to use it with my 3rd graders :)

[@mikeandjuliemiller1995]

Nice videos! It reminds me of 20 years ago when I taught first and then second grade. 😀 Little House in the Big Woods! Read that one! My second graders loved it!

[@madisonleighmaryan]

I'll have to check it out, thanks!!

[@mikeandjuliemiller1995]

@@madisonleighmaryan Can I buy it for your class? Put it on your Amazon account? There is a Laura Ingalls Wilder museum in Pepin. I am the coordinator of the cabin activities for the festival there. Www.LauraDays.org 😀

[@simbathedog2249]

I’m excited to watch it, i know it’ll be amazing!, for book recommendations, The One and Only Ivan is a good book, i had it for read aloud in third grade and also Runaway Twin because i loved it when i read it so you can try and read the first chapter to them and see if they like it. I don’t know other books but i’ll add some whenever i do

[@madisonleighmaryan]

Thanks so much for the recommendations - ill have to check those out!!
