As an aspiring elementary educator, it is important for me to be able to expose my students to different kinds of literature. I want to make sure that I have history books, science books, fantasy books, horror, and books with diverse characters for all ages and reading levels. The goal for this bookshelf is to include as many different kinds of books as possible so even the most reluctant readers will learn to enjoy, and hopefully love, reading. Reading is so important in our world, and making sure students find the right book at the right time is crucial in elementary school. ]]> 2021-01-29 23:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1142784499 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354507619 (Caldecott Medal)]]> 2021-03-25 18:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354507619 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354780012 2021-03-25 19:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354780012 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354789189 2021-03-25 19:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354789189 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354791422 (National Book Award Winner)]]> 2021-03-25 19:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354791422 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354800016 2021-03-25 19:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354800016 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354800985 2021-03-25 19:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354800985 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354802237 2021-03-25 19:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354802237 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354804808 2021-03-25 19:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354804808 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354805381 2021-03-25 19:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354805381 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354806076 2021-03-25 19:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354806076 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354806639 2021-03-25 19:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354806639 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354807359 2021-03-25 19:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354807359 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354808133 2021-03-25 19:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354808133 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354810256 (Caldecott Medal)]]> 2021-03-25 19:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354810256 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354812315 2021-03-25 19:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354812315 jade517 https://padlet.com/jade517/Bookmarks/wish/1354813312 (Sibert Medal)
