However, I teach at a private school, and we're very careful about teaching with books that involve magicky things...I wanted to read these books first (I've only read Harris Burdick and Polar Express) before ordering so I could see if they were appropriate for my classroom, but they didn't have them at any bookstore I went to :( I'll find them this summer and read them before next year. I do use The Mysteries of Harris Burdick for the students to write stories about, and they have really enjoyed that. Thanks for the great post. <br /><br />Angie<br /><a href="http://teaching-with-class.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Teaching With Class</a><br /><br />Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136765245448314258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091913598705401610.post-57301772492017567172013-05-27T09:12:26.343-04:002013-05-27T09:12:26.343-04:00I really enjoyed reading this post!

We use the posters as writing prompts and then compare our stories to the ones written by famous authors. The kids love to find out which author wrote about the same picture as them!<br /><br />Beth<br />easy peasy educationAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564190073062144505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091913598705401610.post-59733017956936266212013-05-24T23:58:06.454-04:002013-05-24T23:58:06.454-04:00We have just started a unit on Chris Van Allsburg....We have just started a unit on Chris Van Allsburg. I began with having the children try a fig. What a range of opinions. Then I had them explore the first picture of "The Sweetest Fig" - what did they observe in the drawing and what do they think will happen and why. There is so much detail in all his drawings and so much deep thinking. The children are enjoying all the books so far.Beverley Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973073253078139054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091913598705401610.post-20664715891190160682013-05-24T14:43:10.202-04:002013-05-24T14:43:10.202-04:00We also love Chris Van Allsburg in my 4th grade cl...We also love Chris Van Allsburg in my 4th grade class.

Like you mention in your article, I do think that all his books have some messages that if you read carefully and "critically" one will find it there and put a smile on your face!<br />Thanks for sharing! would love a copy of the Polar Express!<br />-Reshama<br />www.stackingbooks.comReshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393075423808667600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091913598705401610.post-52216110646443724952013-05-24T08:40:15.244-04:002013-05-24T08:40:15.244-04:00First I have heard of Ben's Dream.
