Not in Room 204

Not in Room 204, by Shannon Riggs and illustrated by Jaime Zollars is a great book filled with nice pictures to look at as well as good lessons for the classroom. The teacher, Mrs. Salvador goes through rules by saying things they may be able to do in other classrooms or at home but not in her classroom. She discusses stranger danger as well as dangerous situations that one can be in with people they know well in their life. I think this is a good book to read to a classroom when discussing rules or such issues. This book is geared for grades 1-3 and I agree because it shows issues that these ages deal with or may encounter. I would recommend this book to teachers to read to their classrooms when wanting to discuss classroom expectations as well as letting students know they can talk to them about anything they need!
