Shumway<br>Illustrated by: Not Applicable<br>Published by: Stenhouse Pub<br>Year: 2018<br>City:  Portsmouth, New Hampshire<br><br>This trade book could be used when students first come in during that morning or in the first few minutes of class, like an opening bell ringer.  Students can work on skills that were previously learned the day before and circle the questions that they feel they struggled with or need to ask questions on and can address them with the teacher.  This book can be a tool throughout the year or unit. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Written by: Brian P. Cleary<br>Illustrated by: Brian Gable<br>Published by: Lerner Publishing Group<br>Year: 2013<br>City: Minneapolis, Minnesota <br><br>Another fun book that could really draw students in to learning about fractions!  I highly recommend connecting it to real life objects or events that a student can relate to.  Fractions are typically a struggle for students, so tying it into their own lives or making the subject fun is the best way to help students!  This book is a fun way to look at fractions and seeing why all fractions goals are to be a whole! </div>]]></description>

This book tells the tale about a boys's traits that he has inherited from both sides of his family (dad's side goes front to back and mom's goes from back to front).  The books is very visually based, so it'll be great for students to see how traits are passed down from generations!  This books can be used to introduce the topic of heredity or to go into a text that can relate to all students. <br><br></div>]]></description>

This website will serve as a great resource for extensions activities for students or for students to learn without knowing it.  The biggest downfall is it is an app that will need to be downloaded, other than that students will love this open-ended game!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This poster is a great idea to use in the classroom at all times!  It can be used to let the students know what the weather is outside and how they should prepare for that day i.e. if they need to wear a jacket for recess or not, etc.  Once the unit of weather comes into play a teacher can pick a student each day to adjust the weather and observe whether they are understanding the unit or not!  Plus it helps students become helpers in the classroom!<br> </div>]]></description>

This could be a fun activity to do with students at the end or beginning of a lesson.  Reading this book aloud for students, you could engage them by asking if the questions is true or false and getting their feedback by a raise of hands or thumbs up or down.  Either way this book can test a student's background knowledge or new knowledge about storms. <br><br></div>]]></description>
