If Students Ran The School

What? Students in charge of the school
Whoever came up with such a ridiculous idea!

Actually, as author Chris Holley delves inside the minds of today’s students, we find there is a huge amount of creativity and fun to be had! The kids are indeed ruling the school!

What fun do they have? Is Math still on the agenda? What with DJ’s dubbing, and teachers disappearing, there is clearly a NEW curriculum in place!

Ideal for the 6-10 age range, the story lends itself to the option of being a play, or an introduction to poetry and rhyme.

With 28 beautifully illustrated pages, your students and kids will love the ideas. More likely than not, they’ll come up with their own to add to the list! Teachers beware!

This is a story full of whimsy and fun for kids of all ages. A playful picture book that reminds us not to take life to seriously and allow children to be in charge for a change (even if it's only in their imaginations).

T. Sanders-
In this story, Holley brings to life every young child's ultimate fantasy--the experience of making all the rules in school. With adorable illustrations, catchy rhymes, and an imaginative story line, this book is sure to be a favorite for children in elementary school and early childhood settings. This is the third title my ten year old daughter has enjoyed by this author and she looks forward to more. Holley's experience as an educator definitely spills into his poetic prose in a relatable and enchanting way for children.

The book was amazing, I read it to my students and they loved it. After reading the book as a class, the children are now using it as part of the reading/ writing center and are creating their own narrative about what would happen if they ran the school. Their stories are extremely imaginative, and they are using the author's words and creativity to take their personal stories to another level... This book is an in-demand book in my classroom, I am buying multiple copies!
