Book of the Month - September/October
Book of the Month - Whoever You Are - Task Cards
Dear PS 203 Family,
Welcome Back!
The September & October 2026 Book of the Month is Whoever You Are by Mem Fox.
It is a perfect read aloud to start the 2026-2027 school year right, celebrating the similarities and differences in our world.
Every day all over the world, children are laughing and crying, playing and learning, eating and sleeping. They may not look the same. They may not speak the same language. Their lives may be quite different from each other. But inside, they are all alike.
Captivating words and bold paintings weave their way across cultures around the world and remind children to accept differences, to recognize similarities, and most importantly to rejoice in both.
The various videos and task cards will be great conversation starters and will allow your students to learn from one another and about each other.
Happy Reading,
Ms. Angeladakis
Book of the Month - November/December
Dear P.S.203 Family,
The November / December Book of the Month is The Snatchabook by Helen and Thomas Docherty, an uplifting tale about the importance of READING, and being kind to one another.
One brave rabbit named Eliza sets out to solve the mystery of the disappearing books in her town. Eliza finds that it's a sad little Snatchabook, a small, magical creature who just wants someone to read to him. That's when a mission is set ... to turn a wrong into right.
The various task card prompts can be used to elicit speaking and writing responses that will allow your students to explore the inspiring message about kindness, inclusion, and encouraging empathy.
Happy Reading,
Mrs. Angeladakis
