The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a great book. It appeals to the emotions and causes its reader to self-reflect. It would be a great book to use in the classroom for multiple reason. For example, students can benefit from the innocence of Bruno and Shumal during a time in history that was so awful. Although this book is set during WWII there are certain details that are not factual to the history of WWII.]]> 2019-04-27 04:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354642063 alyssa_fonseca https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354643616 3 out 5 stars
My Brother Sam is Dead is an easy read with a great plot. The story tells about a family that is torn between supporting the British or the revolutionist during the Revolutionary War. The impact to the reader is profound in this story. The emotions that are portrayed Tim, Sam, and their family really tugs at the heart. It would be a great addition to the classroom because it has adventure and excitement. It is a little slow (boring) in the beginning but continue on and it really catches the readers attention.  ]]> 2019-04-27 05:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354643616 alyssa_fonseca https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354644422 5 out of 5 stars
GREAT BOOK!!! Some times being a girl is tuff but Chelsea Clinton tells about 13 American Women who Changed the World. Each story is more inspirational than the last and it keeps the reading engaged and empowered throughout the book. Alexandra Boiger (Illustrator) uses great and vibrant colors to show the reader excitement on each page. This book would be a great addition to the classroom at any point during the school year. It teaches persistence for those being told they can't accomplish their goals. Overall, such a great book to empower young students of all walks of life.

Love this book. Algernon is a lab rat that has undergone surgery to increase his intelligence. Charlie was born with an exceptionally low IQ and he will be the first human to undergo the same surgery that Algernon has had with the hopes of increasing his IQ. This is such and incredible story that truly grabs the reader's emotions. It has great benefits for the classroom and provides an opportunity for self-reflection and morals. It also teaches sensitivity for those who struggle with mental disorders. It truly is a great read and it will touch the hearts of those that read it. ]]> 2019-04-27 06:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354645404 alyssa_fonseca https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354647057 4 out of 5 stars

How to catch a Unicorn is fun and easy read. The story line is engaging and fun for the reader. Its content really captures the readers imagination and runs away with it.

The Rough-Face Girl is an Algonquin Indian folktale similar to Cinderella. The Rough-Face girl is treated badly by her older sisters and is made to tend to the fire on a daily basis. The fire has charred her hair and caused burn marks to her face and hands. She remains kind and loving though she is treated badly. The Invisible man sees how the Rough-Face girl's sisters treat her and decides she is worthy of marriage. This interesting spin on the classic Cinderella story is engaging and fun. The author uses plenty of adjectives to paint the scene for the story. The illustrations are dark and gloomy when they refer to the Rough-Face girl but eventually brighten up when she marries the Invisible man. A great tale of kindness overcoming hurtfulness. This is a great story to have in the classroom. Great way to teach kindness. This story really appeals to the emotions of students. The reader really gets a sense of what the Rough-Face girl is experiencing throughout the story. I love this book. ]]> 2019-04-27 07:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354647758 alyssa_fonseca https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354649436 3 out of 5 stars
An American tale about the biggest baby that was ever born in the USA. He and blue ox, Betsy, were the finest and fastest workers in the country. This is a great story because it is funny and easy. The illustrations are great, however, the colors are dull and boring. It is a great story to for students because it teaches about sensitive and understanding of the difference was all have as human beings. ]]> 2019-04-27 07:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354649436 alyssa_fonseca https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354649932 5 out of 5 stars

This book is a great read for all ages. It teaches students to love the skin they are in. I really love the color words used to describe the different skin tones. For example, the author uses fruits and vegetables to describe skin. This is a great book to help teach acceptance and tolerance for one another. It really appeals to emotional side of learning and I feel that it can really be beneficial for the classroom. The illustrations are bright and colorful. The author represents all kinds of skin tones and I feel that is very important. ]]> 2019-04-27 08:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354652416 alyssa_fonseca https://padlet.com/alyssa_fonseca/28lhrzo2nvly/wish/354652842 5 out of 5 stars
