Penn, A (1993) //The Kissing Hand// Retrieved from: []

I downloaded this audiobook for my kindergarten class. I chose this story because we often read this story at the start of the school year. It is about a little raccoon that is worried about starting school for the first time. To cheer her little boy up, the mother raccoon gives her child a kissing hand. The kissing hand reminds him that she is always with him. I think this will work great in my Daily 5 center of listening to reading. Students will be able to follow along with the story and listen to another person reading besides me.

 Collins, S. (2008) //The Hunger Games// Retrieved from: []

I downloaded this eBook for my personal use from Amazon. I needed to install their Kindle app, however that was free. I chose this book because I have heard great reviews from my friends and family. I am excited to read it in my spare time. I think it is great that I have it on my iPad which will be much easier to take place to place than remembering to bring the book.
