It addresses deeper concepts and has more complex vocabulary, so it would be for a 4-7th grade class.]]> 2018-10-07 21:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290089930 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090152 Set in Japan, Goldsaito's book talks about silence and sounds in our world. It contrasts the other books on my list about being deaf. This book is also culturally diverse and gives a good variety to a class collection. This wold be a good text to discuss in a 3rd grade class.]]> 2018-10-07 21:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090152 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090270 While fairly simple in text structure, Klassen's book gives an opportunity to teach children distinctions between characters talking or having a dialogue and narration. A simple, yet amusing story about what to do when there is not enough of something for everyone. This is a good modeled example for children ages 5 to 8.]]> 2018-10-07 21:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090270 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090392 This book shows us the value of optimism, having dreams, and friends who are there for you. Zoey persevered with her dreams and "found a way". This is a fairly strait froward book with simple vocabulary for children in k-1st grade.]]> 2018-10-07 21:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090392 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090552 Probably the simplest book in me set, this book is fairly straight forward with it's examples of waiting and patience.

It does this is a way that allows other children to empathize with them and see the value of not only knowing who you are but models talking about feelings. This would be great for any K-2 class working on emotions.]]> 2018-10-07 21:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090597 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090818 A wonderful captivating graphic novel that helps children understand and relate to deaf individuals. This can be used to explore a nontraditional writing style, as well as deaf specific vocabulary (in reference to the phonic ear). The other aspect of this graphic novel I enjoy is that it has several layers to it, that can be used in any class from 3-12th grade.]]> 2018-10-07 21:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090818 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090966 Brian deals with the struggles of fitting in and feelingly lonely or as he sees it invisible. It's not until someone takes the time to interact with him that things change for him and we see the impact being inclusive has on others. This is a great book for modeling healthy peer relationships and discussing ways to be inclusive. A good resource for a 1-3 grade classroom.]]> 2018-10-07 21:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290090966 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290091040 This novel is a great way to address hard concepts with a class like death and how to treat people and animals in a humane way. Ivan is a relatable character with several levels of depth available depending on your class. With several levels of humor folded by a silver-back gorilla, and his friends at the strip mall. This book is appropriate for a read aloud for children 3-5th grade and independent reading for 6-8th.]]> 2018-10-07 21:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290091040 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290092199 A good example of the creative process. The book shows how "mistakes" can be added to and expanded upon until they create something we like. I would use this when discussing ways to persevere or when addressing obstacles related to English in a 1-3 grade class. The vocabulary is simple, but the lesson can apply to older elementary students. ]]> 2018-10-07 22:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290092199 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290092319 This is actually the novel that re-sparked my interest in reading when it came out. It follows Cass and max as they follow the mystery and have to problem solve and follow clues to a secret magicians organization. It promotes critical thinking and utilizes a variety of languages tools to reveal clues. Can be used as a read a loud for children 3-5, and more independent reading for children in 6-8th grade.]]> 2018-10-07 22:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290092319 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290092567 The book gives a helpful understanding of deaf children, in a respectful and uplifting way for children to understand. Would be great to use when addressing diversity in class. I think this book can be used for any age group if they have no previous concept for Deaf culture, but its suggested reading for 1-4th grade.]]> 2018-10-07 22:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290092567 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290092735 A sarcastic and funny way to address feelings with a class. Yellow and orange crayons debate over who is the color of the sun gives ample opportunity to talk through conflict resolution. The range of emotions and hand written writing style gives several levels of information to process.

As well as the helpful resolution that comes with finally facing up to it. The book addresses several feelings in a non direct way, that could be useful in a 2nd grade class.]]> 2018-10-08 11:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290232646 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290234404 Klassen writes a dead pan humorous book, that can be used to talk about consequences to our actions, and how people feel when we don't treat them properly.

The book addresses the themes of adventure, inquisitiveness, friendship, and several others as the children work together. With beautiful graphics that add to the story throughout, the novel can be used to dive into what makes up a text and its supports. This text is for grades 3-5 with support and 6-8 independently. It may be the hardest one in my text set.]]> 2018-10-08 11:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290234923 katwoolz https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290236193 Bruce is a grumpy bear who, is challenged when he accidentally hatches goose eggs and they bond to him.

Also a good way to introduce onomatopoeia to children. The book is for  a prek-k, or 1-2 reading level. ]]> 2018-10-08 11:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/katwoolz/5ltxz2my46fu/wish/290236535
