Ivy and Bean Blog-a-Bration (Week 3)

Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:00 PM

One of the best parts of my week is when I hop from blog to blog reading the Ivy and Bean Day Blog-a-Bration posts. I'm thankful for the creative and inspiring ideas educators and bloggers are sharing. You're all making me a better teacher-librarian.


This week I am celebrating Ivy and Bean: Break the Fossil Record, the third volume in Annie Barrow's bestselling and award-winning series.


I asked random students to share what they liked about Break the Fossil Record and the Ivy and Bean series.

*"Ivy + Bean: Break the Fossil Record is my favorite book in the series. I've read it twice."

*"I like to read the Guinness Book of World Records. It is fun to skip around. Ivy and Bean like to read them, too."

*Last year, my class acted out this book on Skype. I played Ivy."

*Mrs. Aruba-Tate is a nice teacher."

*I borrow World Records books from our school library. Ivy and Bean love world records."

*"The illustrations are funny. I have an Ivy and Bean poster hanging in my bedroom."

*"I want to read Ivy and Bean: Make the Rules. I'm going to ask my grandma to buy it for me."

*"Ivy and Bean Day is a lot of fun."
