1. Read the story to students and give them time to laugh between pages. (I will probably put a smiley face sticker over the last picture of David's naked behind just to avoid issues.) 2. Talk about the rules David forgot on each page. 3. Tell students that you are going to tell them things David did in the library and they are to give David a thumbs up if he followed the rules or a thumbs down if he forgot them.

3rd, 4th, 5th grades Bluebonnet Club introduction Read:  Explain: Each year a list of twenty outstanding books is compiled. Students, teachers and librarians all across the state of Texas read the books and students get to vote for their favorite book from the list. This year the books range in difficulty and type. They are truly great books! If students would like to sign up to be in the Bluebonnet Reading Club, they may take home a permission slip that should be signed and returned. Each student signing up is pledging that he will read at least 5 of the 20 nominated books between now and January. In addition to reading the books, students will keep a reading log with some important details about the books read and color in the map after each book is finished. ONLY students in the Bluebonnet Reading Club will get to check these special books out until February. They will receive a membership card that entitles them to check one of the books out during their weekly visit. In January, the students who have fulfilled the requirement will be notified that it is time to vote. All voting is done electronically.

Letters should be copied in English and Spanish and may be taken if the student chooses to participate.
