It tells kids all the different places nests can be found. I wish it had a little more information about how nests are made, who makes them and who lives in them. It is isn't informational in my opinion.]]> 2017-09-01 23:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184328587 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184328667 This book is cute. It tells children what the animals do at the zoo. It also talks about the visitors and workers. It has a little bird that also says little blurbs like "J is for Joey" over the kangaroo.

It gives the view of the teacher and how nervous he is to meet his new students. He teaches his students about minutes and they teach him too. It's a good teaching book for the first day of school to let students know that the first day is school is a learning experience for everyone . ]]> 2017-09-02 00:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184331373 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184331802 This book was quite interesting. It tells the story of famous slave rebel and leader Nathaniel Turner. It goes into great detail about his visions from God and how he decided to break free and kill slave owners with his men along the way. It may be a little graphic for younger ages.]]> 2017-09-02 00:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184331802 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184332592 This book is so funny and odd from beginning to end. It stars Luey, Miri, their dad who is a cat, and their mom who changed. Don't forget about their friend Phil the frog which is the only normal one. When their dad runs into the linen closer they discover it's been taken over by goblins. It is a great read!]]> 2017-09-02 01:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184332592 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/184333229 This little graphic novel is pretty silly.

It may be one of my favorites. It's about a young boy who just wants to finish his book. He tries so many ways to find a nice quiet place to just finish his book before one of his animal friends reveals the story. ]]> 2017-09-08 13:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/185866172 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/187226008 This was a very informative book. It tells about the homes of a variety animals. It's a great way to expand vocabulary because it talks about dens and burrows. I think a lesson outside would be a good follow up for this book.]]> 2017-09-13 15:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/187226008 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/187235276 I thought this was really cute. A young boy wants to invite his friend who is a girl to his party. He thinks a letter will make it more personal. He fights with the rain to mail it in time not knowing he has hurt his friend in the process. Just when he thinks she won't show there she is! I think it's a great way to get boys and girls to get along no matter what their other friends think.]]> 2017-09-13 15:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/187235276 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/187240521 This is about a young puppy who doesn't want to go to the library with her brother.

Jessie gets some new shoes from Granpa on her birthday and all her family gives her gifts to go along with her new shoes. It's so silly it will definitely keep all children engaged. Also it's repetitive writing will help with memorization and visualization.]]> 2017-09-17 01:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/188185159 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/188185281 This book is very serious. It is a great opener for a history lesson on the troubles Native Americans went through. This story tells about a boy taken from his home to go to a school that wanted to strip him of his culture. It's important to know this history and see how students would feel if it were them.]]> 2017-09-17 01:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/188185281 akivajohnson https://padlet.com/akivajohnson/iscek56hs9zp/wish/188185461 I read this book aloud to my class. They loved it. Jack was the only boy in his family with no special winter powers. His sister, brother, and Aunt were all very talented and everyone noticed them. No one noticed Jack though. One night he discovered his special snow patterns he could blow. The entire village loved it and he became known as Jack Frost. It’s a great book to make students feel accepted by their peers and themselves. Everyone has a talent.

They learn about other animals who roamed during prehistoric times in a fun and new way. This would also be a great story before a lesson on prehistoric times and creatures.

It tells about two ants who follow their troupe to a home for sugar but decide to stay. They then experience so many near death experiences.
