Spring means new beginnings, warmer weather, and…baseball!
Jenise R. Collins—an early childhood educator at Park Slope North Child Development Center in Brooklyn, New York, and a former third grade teacher—finds that Little Rhino: My New Team is a great way to celebrate the season with her students.
Watch Jenise’s Scholastic Book Clubs–exclusive teacher review video to discover how you can use this baseball-themed chapter book to share lessons on perseverance, bullying, and friendship in your class.
• Guided Reading: You can assign new chapters to your kids every day and focus on specific lessons, such as growth mindset and dealing with bullying.
• Dinosaur Talk: Jenise’s students loved Rhino’s dinosaur club so much that they wanted to learn more about dinosaurs after the book was over.
• Chart or Discuss Differences: Students can compare and contrast elements from the book, such as Rhino’s and Cooper’s personalities or Rhino and Dylan’s relationship at the beginning and end of the story.
