Ms. Gray's Virtual Library by Lindsey Gray

Ms. Gray's Virtual Library by Lindsey Gray https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr My mission is to create a collection of literature that I want to use in my own classroom. This virtual library includes a variety of topics, genres, formats, and levels of difficulty. My goal is for this library is to have great diversity and representation within the literature--I want every student to be able to find a book that they can use as a window, a mirror, and a glass sliding door. It was very important to me to make sure that the range of books in my library is representative of all students, not only in terms of the adversity they face and overcome, but in a loving and celebratory way, as well. I included sections that I am personally passionate about, including those related to equality and representation, such as anti-racist/pro-humanity, women’s empowerment, MLK Jr./Civil Rights, LGBTQ+, disability and neurodivergence, and bilingual books. Many of my friends and family members, myself included, grew up without adequate representation in the literature and media they consumed—I do not want my students to share this experience. They will have a variety of books to read that they can find themselves in and read proudly. Books are for everyone! en-us 2022-01-12 21:07:31 UTC 2022-05-05 03:56:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f33b.png This section contains books that were some of my absolute favorites in my childhood. Some are the first books I remember being read to me, and others are some of the first books I read independently. All of them, however, are books that I read countless times and gave me great joy as a young child! lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1989190108 2022-01-12 21:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1989190108 The Lion's Haircut by Jennifer Giddings lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1989192825 This is the first book I vividly remember being read to me. Every time I went to my grandpa's house, I would sit in his lap and beg him to read this book to me--more than once-- and he always did. I found the illustrations of the little lion to be adorable, and the story always made me laugh (especially with my grandpa's character voices).]]> 2022-01-12 21:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1989192825 Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1989195491 My older sister and I read this book all the time as children, both together and individually. This book has cute animals, a scary dragon, friendship, and magic, all things that appealed to me and kept me coming back to it as a child.]]> 2022-01-12 21:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1989195491 Pippin Takes a Bath by K. V. Johansen lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1990600057 This is one of the first books I remember reading completely on my own, and I read it constantly. This book has a lot of words per page but still has a simple and cute story, which was perfect for me as an early reader who wanted to read "longer" books. I also loved that the main character was a cute dog--my dog's name, Pippa, was inspired by this book series!]]> 2022-01-13 15:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1990600057 Little Critter Books by Mercer Mayer lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1990605711 I remember my parents reading these "Little Critter" books to my sister and I countless times as small children. We still have a collection of books from this series at my family home! I remember being captivated by the illustrations, which are very colorful and imaginative. There is also such a wide variety of storylines that there was always a book I wanted to read from this series!]]> 2022-01-13 15:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/1990605711 This section includes a few books that I think would be great to read on the first day (or in the few first few days) of a new school year. These books discuss topics such as acceptance, meeting new people, learning names, and overcoming challenges in general. lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2003489006 2022-01-20 17:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2003489006 The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2003492001 This book is realistic yet optimistic about the challenges children may face when they don't feel like they "fit in." This would be a great start to a conversation about acceptance and celebrating differences--the message can be applied to all children!]]> 2022-01-20 17:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2003492001 The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2003498650 This book would be great if there are students in the class who have a hard time leaving their parents to come to school.

Some examples of developmental steps in this stage are linking speech sounds with letters, learning to decode, reading some sight words, and beginning to make sense of what is read. This section contains books for children in this stage, including more complex picture and ABC books, concept books, and appropriate poetry. lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2126090604 2022-04-01 22:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2126090604 Children in the emergent stage tend to be around 4-5 years old (PreK-K). Developmental indicators in this stage include children writing their first name without a model, demonstrating left to right directionality, and identifying about 40 uppercase and lowercase letters. This section contains books appropriate for emergent readers, including simple ABC and rhyming books, predictable texts, early concept books, beginner picturebooks, and wordless books. lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2126093568 2022-04-01 22:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2126093568 Readers typically enter the "Fluent" stage around grades 3-5. They independently read longer texts with more complex sentence structures. Their reading is automatic, so they devote most of their energy to understanding, with command of various comprehension strategies. They read with expression and proper pauses, and can describe characteristics of books such as central message, character traits/feelings/motivations, themes, etc. Fluent readers are often described as having made the transition into "reading to learn." lindseygray4 https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2170452778 2022-05-04 19:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseygray4/g8euyp9ezg8ud1sr/wish/2170452778 The books in this category all fall under the topics of science, technology, engineering, and/or math.
