This story gives readers the chance to explore their creativity and imagination. I think this book would be most appropriate for those students the same age as Max who might also be able to relate to his situation.

It serves as a great tool to use to introduce students to different elected positions in the government while giving some insight into how the process works. In addition, through this autobiography of a humble and humorous duck students of all ages can gain an appreciation for other jobs that are not as highly appreciated.]]> 2018-04-23 15:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/254457006 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/254457494 Through this interactive and energetic story, teachers can actively engage their students in a read aloud.

At last when their mother does return, the babies are beyond joyful. This story would be best read to kindergarteners because this is the age that most parents are dropping their kids off at school and spending most of their day away from them for the first time. Teachers can use this story not only to teach about animals and how they live, but they can also show children that it's okay to be scared in a new environment/situation.]]> 2018-04-23 15:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/254458362 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/254459457 This story gives readers the chance to really open their minds up to possibilities and fantasies they could only think of using their imagination.

I think this book should be read in all grades K-4 when teaching spelling because silent letters are a challenging concept for most elementary students to grasp.]]> 2018-04-23 15:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/254460037 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/254694446 This book contains a powerful story about a student who struggles with reading. I think many beginner readers or those who have similar struggles can relate to this book and use it to encourage them not to give up. I think this book is appropriate for any age, from students to teachers.

Teachers can use this book to teach how a food chain works and explain what all animals have to do in order to adapt and survive in their habitat.       ]]> 2018-04-24 19:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255010587 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255011011 This book would be a great source to use in your second grade classroom. This age group is notorious for their inventive and curious imaginations, just like Ada Twist. In any science lesson teachers can use this book to make connections with and enhance the understanding of science through inquiry and discovery. ]]> 2018-04-24 19:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255011011 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255011282 The illustrations in this story will draw any reader in. Just by looking at the pictures you can feel the characters emotions with empathy.

This book would be appropriate for kindergarteners or first graders who are still learning how to decipher the days of the week, colors and numbers. I think this book would be a great literacy tool to incorporate in a math lesson.]]> 2018-04-24 19:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255012166 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255018210 Surprising Sharks is a book that will make your children laugh while providing them with knowledge about sharks and the ocean in which they live in. The author gives readers the experience to see sharks in a way that isn't so scary. Any age group learning about oceans animals, biomes, and other habitats in their science classes would benefit from reading this story. ]]> 2018-04-24 19:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255018210 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255096851 Through this West African tale, the animals are attempting to investigate and track down the sole originator of a long line of rumors that have stirred up drama in the jungle. Through a poetic and almost musical tone similar to the books of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, students will enjoy learning about  cause and effect of rumors.
Appropriate age: Kindergarten]]> 2018-04-25 05:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255096851 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255096934 Through the classic style the author uses in the fables of Strega Nona, it's easy to see aspects of an Italian culture with the distinct outfits, buildings with red roof tiles and even the details on the cobblestone roads. This book offers teachers opportunities to remind students the importance of listening, paying attention, and following instructions, or there may be negative consequences.
Appropriate for: grades K-2]]> 2018-04-25 05:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255096934 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255096972 In this fable a powerful story of friendship between two unlikely animals is clearly understood only through the illustrations. I think wordless books are an important way to teach children about quality over quantity. The idea that a story needs a thousand well thought out words to be quality literature is not always the case, because in fact a picture can also say a thousand words on it's own.
Appropriate for: third grade]]> 2018-04-25 05:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255096972 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255097015 Jumanji is a classic book filled with unimaginable experiences two children encounter when they come across a mysterious board game.

Students can relate with Grace as she as a love for stories, whether they're from books, movies, or anywhere else she can find them. The beautiful watercolor illustrations enhance emotions and express her character in a vivid way. This book can be used in a first grade class to teach character/student roles and development. ]]> 2018-04-25 05:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255097409 msupko https://padlet.com/msupko/g0nee2kykh13/wish/255097589 This book gives a twist on  the classic folklore/fairytale that has been told for generations.

Instead of a powerless and punished princess that is locked in a grim tower, the author promotes a more independent individual surrounded by beauty.
