This book is amazing. Not only is it a fun read, it educates, motivates, and has intriguing pictures. This would be perfect for a Kindergarten/first grade classroom for various reading activities. I could use the "Why Does the Story Matter" strategy to highlight the main ideas of the story. Then, I could either use those ideas as a set of rules for expected classroom behavior such as "Be kind to yourself" or I could use it as reminders so that my students remember that they are worthy and to never give up. This book can help with comprehending mental health, and with coping/conforming with the community around us. ]]> 2020-09-04 23:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722237109 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722269693 Year: 2019

I enjoyed reading this book because it was lighthearted and it allowed me to venture into an unfamiliar culture. This book reminds the reader to always appreciate the good times and to never be bummy or complain that it's over. It also illustrates the power of friendship and trust. This book has many themes that while reading this book, my class could use the "One Text, Multiple Ideas" strategy that allows readers to stop and think. Although it is a chapter book for teens, I can take the themes and pictures from this book and read it to younger audiences. ]]> 2020-09-05 00:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722269693 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722276579 Year: 1983

This book is one of my favorites. I read this book in the 2nd grade and loved it. It teaches about situations that some children don't know about yet. It also allows the reader to remember to never give up and overcome any obstacle thrown at you. Using the "Stories that Teach Us About Life Issues" strategy can further this message. Allowing questions and answers from students about their personal lives to connect to this book will be very beneficial. This book is great for individual reading and students can start much needed conversations from the themes this book present. ]]> 2020-09-05 00:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722276579 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722277092 Year: 2018

AWARD: Best Book for Young Children at the 27th Annual Children's Africana Book Awards
I love this book. This book would be really great for a read aloud reading activity such as the "Role Playing Characters to Understand Them Better" strategy in the book. It has rhyming words and beautiful pictures to make the story so much fun. It teaches cultural practices such as climbing Guava trees and cleaning Tilapia fish but it also tells common themes such as the power of family and love. As a class, we could imagine going on the many adventures that the main character did. I can imagine young readers loving to read this book. ]]> 2020-09-05 00:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722277092 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722278272 Year: 2000

AWARD: 2000 Pleasant T. Rowland Prize for Fiction For Girls
I like this book because it introduces real emotion and struggles that everyone may feel in their lives. It also shows struggle between family and school that could be useful and familiar to some students. By using the "Express the Emotions" strategy in Seravallo's book could enhance the story being told in the story. I could read this book to my classroom and allow them to hear how the character feels and then allow them to interact as well. This book should definitely be found in upper elementary/middle school book collections. ]]> 2020-09-05 00:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722278272 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722289189 Year: 2016
Genre: Non-fiction Picture Book
This book can be used to teach a small part of slavery and black history. Although slavery is a touchy subject, it is still essential to know about, especially at younger ages. It opens the discussion and allows for questions from younger audiences. I could use the 1.7 "Act It to Storytell It" Strategy to make reading fun for my kids. Allowing my kids to dance and sing like the pictures in the book help narrate the story and would be helpful when reading this with my future students. ]]> 2020-09-05 00:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722289189 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722824039 Year: 2018

AWARD: #1 New York Times bestseller and Goodreads Choice Awards Best Picture Books.
This book is beautiful and promotes self love. I really would love to introduce this book to my future classrooms and boost their self images using the "Choose Books with Your Identity in Mind" strategy. Choosing a book that represents myself may help other students looking for books that connects to them as well. I love this book because it spreads positivity and the pictures illustrates multiple cultures, colors, and interracial friendship. It can combat racism and allow students to see that they are similar to other that may not look like them. ]]> 2020-09-05 20:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722824039 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722838223 Year: 2018

I like this book. It is a really fun read and it allows the reader to go on imaginable adventures with the main character. It also teaches to not doubt yourself and that everyone, even if it doesn't seem like it, is super. This book can be used for individual reading in upper elementary classrooms. I could assign an activity for my students based on the 5.14 "Chapter-End Stop Signs strategy in the Reading Strategies Book. Knowing that each chapter has important events and each chapter end has a specific purpose, I could allow my students to know that stopping while reading is important. ]]> 2020-09-05 20:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722838223 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722909891 2020-09-05 23:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722909891 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722910633 2020-09-05 23:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722910633 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722910937 2020-09-05 23:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722910937 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911284 2020-09-05 23:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911284 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911376 2020-09-05 23:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911376 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911679 2020-09-05 23:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911679 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911848 2020-09-05 23:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722911848 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722912134 2020-09-05 23:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722912134 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722912499 Year: 1938

I like this book because it takes hard times and turns them around to hopeful situations from the main character. Although the times in this book may seem outdated, the adventures the reader immerses into are fun and lighthearted. I could use this book in my future classroom to introduce "Stories Teach Us About Life Issues". Thinking about real life issues could allow students to connect the book back to their own lives. ]]> 2020-09-05 23:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722912499 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722915099 2020-09-06 00:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722915099 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722918380 Year: 2012
Genre" Children's Adventure Graphic Novel
This Graphic Novel is a favorite of mine. It's a very fun comic and it reminds me of newspaper comics. The book would be perfect for elementary school students because it has limited words and graphics that support the story just as much. The written sound effects could be useful for the 3.1 "Check the picture for help" strategy so students could use the illustrations to help understand the story. Presenting this book in small groups and allowing students to enjoy the adventures of Ace and Bub and also reading the pictures would be the best way to teach this book. ]]> 2020-09-06 00:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722918380 ataylor402 https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722921710 2020-09-06 00:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ataylor402/34w1avedo0o7vsy/wish/722921710
