I just sent off my end of semester materials. I’m officially done with my first semester of graduate school. (I’m still waiting for my mentor’s response to my packet, though.)
I’ve already begun reading for next semester. I’ve been reading books by the faculty members to help me get a feel for their writing styles. I also have a huge reading list ready to go.
My classmates and I have been sharing our favorite books from the semester, so I thought I would post mine here:
Picture Books:
- A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry
- Flotsam by David Wiesner (wordless PB)
