"Today's #Kidlit Sticker" (2013-2014 School Year Gallery)
I always plan what #kidlit sticker I'll wear for the day when I'm driving to school. Once the sticker is attached to me, I usually share it on Twitter, but wouldn't it be nice if I had a place to keep all the stickers? I debated creating a #Kidlit Sticker Tumblr, but I don't want to manage one more "place" right now. So, here's my plan...
I'll update this blog post whenever I create a new sticker. OK? Great!

"Ah, the page turn – the oh-so-wonderful page turn." - Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Sticker #45 (11/7/13)

Scaredy Squirrel by Melanie Watt

Sticker #51 (11/18/13)
"The act of reading a picture book to a child transcends the book itself, and creates a bond between the grown-up — usually a parent, but not always — and the child he or she is reading with." - Sue Fliess

Sticker #53 (11/20/13)
"The beauty of a picture book is that it quite quickly delivers its essence within a few minutes. Sometime with a few words sprinkled below big images -and sometimes wordlessly." Peter H. Reynolds
Sticker #54 (11/20/13)
"Picture books give the reader a chance to be a part of the story, controlling the pace by deciding when to turn the page, when to linger over a special word or sentence, when to leap ahead or jump back in the story, and when a book is really good, to turn back to page one and start reading all over again. " - Daniel Kirk
Sticker #55 (11/21/13)
"I feel that picture books are the connective tissue between a parent and a child. Reading a picture book with a child is a sacred and special time." - John Rocco
Sticker #56 (11/25/13)
"A picture book is a delicious form. There’s just enough time for a journey, a concept, a bit of push and pull of language." -April Pulley Sayre
Sticker #57 (11/26/13)

These are stupendous, Mr. Schu! I hope you make a collage of the stickers for the whole year (in real life, not just on the web). It'd be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea Mr. Schu! What a great way to promote books and authors! I bet your students make it a point to visit the library just to see what sticker you're wearing each day. Fun! Any chance you'd share how you make the stickers?
ReplyDeleteLove your stickers! I'm Math Coaching this year and have many sticker ideas for representing mystery numbers! Funny thing....found myself very interested in the shirts in the pics. Lots of "I wonder". Could be a fun inference game to play with Ss. What job would you have if you wore these stickers on your shirt? What can you tell about this person?
ReplyDeleteI love all these stickers!! I want one of each. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI still want to see a #kidlit sticker tumblr.
ReplyDeletePartial to #7. I keep wanting to steal this idea. It may have to start happening in November!
ReplyDeletePlease travel back in time, arrive at Mitchell Elementary in 1980, and BE MY LIBRARIAN!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, be mine too (Northeast Elementary and go back another 10 years)!
DeleteAnd mine! Thank you, Mr. Schu, and a great big spooky BOO to you!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see GOATILOCKS as a sticker! She'd be so honored to see it. And to eat it.
