He jumps on the furniture, he chews with his mouth opened, and much more! He keeps being told "No David!" over and over again. This is a book that is very easy for young children to read and follow along. It also would be good in the classroom to teach children to say no to doing some of these bad things!]]> 2019-01-21 00:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/322547303 ryleysinnott24 https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/322548159 Junie B.

This book is comical in the sense that a little boy is entertaining a gigantic moose. There is a series of these books that include "If you give a Pig a Pancake" and others. The comedy and vibrant illustrations are great for a classroom. ]]> 2019-01-21 01:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/322549482 ryleysinnott24 https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/335101469 Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus is a chapter book about three disabled teens who struggle with everyday life together and become friends. It is a humorous and interesting read, which makes it great for a middle school classroom. It is a chapter book with tougher concepts so I think it is most appropriate for those a little older. ]]> 2019-02-25 20:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/335101469 ryleysinnott24 https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/337665058 The Giver is about a boy named Jonas (a 11- year-old boy) who is living in a futuristic society that has no fear, hatred, war, or pain. Everyone in this community has an assigned role, they get no say. Jonas is nervously awaiting the annual Ceremony of twelve, as this will determine what he will be assigned for his lifes work. 
With the annual Ceremony of Twelve upcoming, he is nervous, for there he will be assigned his life's work. He seeks reassurance from his father, a Nurturer (who cares for the new babies, who are genetically engineered; thus, Jonas's parents are not biologically related to him), and his mother, an official in the Department of Justice. He is told that the Elders, who assign the children their careers, are always right.]]> 2019-03-04 20:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/337665058 ryleysinnott24 https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/337682903 Let's go froggy is a picture book that takes you on an adventure with Froggy and his Father.

The oil paintings capture the story well and help to enhance the emotions. It is good for a young classroom as well to show them a deviation from the norms and help to normalize tomboys in a society where they are telling young girls how they should act.]]> 2019-03-07 01:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/338683636 ryleysinnott24 https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/339600356  This book is about an eighth grader Castle “Ghost” Cranshaw.

This books covers around 80 different topics, such as how to tell direction with a watch, build a treehouse, and many more. This book also includes famous quotes, historical battles, and much more. I think this book is great to have accessible in a classroom because some boys don’t have fathers around to teach them how to build something or how to tell direction.]]> 2019-03-10 01:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/339619107 ryleysinnott24 https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/339619466 In this book, Mem Fox explains how to read aloud in a way that you engage the child. Fox demonstrates how to read aloud and get the most out of it for you and the listener. Expressive reading is reading that is remembered. When you read to a child every day for at least 15 minutes, this helps the child learn to read faster. This is a better way for the child to learn to read, instead of by phonics, where she or he is sounding out the letters in the words. This book is great for any educator or parent to read so they can give their students/child the best experience. ]]> 2019-03-10 01:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/339619466 ryleysinnott24 https://padlet.com/ryleysinnott24/erpzi1nuah1k/wish/339619971 Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk…and the tree was happy.
