This book can teach students that you can do anything you want even if people don't think you can because you are different. This book is good to show the different characteristic traits of Grace and her family.

CThis book is about Duncan's crayons going on a strike and writing him letters expressing their concerns. This book would be a great way to introduce students on the different components of letters as well as learning how to write letters to express ideas. You can also use this book to teach students about where to properly use commas, questions marks, exclamations points etc.

This book teaches about having the courage to face your fears. It can be used with personal narratives and you can ask your students, "Have you ever experienced a moment where you were scared?" They will infer that he was scared by his actions. It also shows how to stretch a moment when writing.

Is There Really a Human Race? Samantha Solis

by Jamie Lee Curtis
This book uses the term "human race" as a play on words to ask if we are really in competition with each other. This book makes us step back and look at why we tend to compare ourselves to others. I think it is good to learn about play on words as well as rhetorical questions (the book is full of them). This book also offers a great chance to teach rhyming.

This is a fun book about a little fish who steals a hat from a big fish. The little fish goes on to tell the story of how the big fish probably will not know. The story ends with the big fish finding his hat, but the reader is left wondering what happened to the little fish.

This book can be used to teach repetitive text structures. In the book the small fish, who is also the narrator repeats the beginning of most of the sentences. If I where to show this book in my classroom, I think I would try to express the importance repetitive text structure has on this book, and what is can do for their own writing.

Lulu models how it is important to stay positive and be nice even if things don't go the way you expected them to. I also think that this book makes students think about diversity and accepting people that are different.

I think poetry books are important to teach in Elementary schools because you are able to implement this in both reading and writing. They explore both language and vocabulary and it also encourages creative thinking.

An excellent picture book useful for introducing Writer's Workshop, emphasizing how creative work is always an approximation of the creator's intentions, and that being "correct" or "perfect" is not the point; practice and progress are.
