It was a very endearing and sweet story with a plot that kept me engaged the whole way through, but I was not a big fan of the ending. This book could be a good read aloud for upper elementary students as well!]]> 2022-09-22 22:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2309559915 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2309562553 Chapter books are on a pink post.
Picture books are on a purple post.
For each book, I have shared a one sentence summary as well as some of my thoughts! I also included links to video read alouds for the picture books (which are on green posts). Thanks for visiting my padlet!]]> 2022-09-22 22:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2309562553 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311751213 This picture book is a story about how a young activist takes action in her community to turn a dangerous landfill into a beautiful park. It is written in a poetic like prose that is fun to read. It would be a great read aloud for 2nd to 5th graders and I hope to read it to my future students one day to introduce activism. ]]> 2022-09-24 18:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311751213 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311754704 This picture book tells the story of two best friends who must learn how to accept and respect their cultural differences (in regards to the kinds of sandwiches they like to eat). It would be great for K-2 students to begin a discussion about cross cultural tolerance, trying new foods, and being respectful. ]]> 2022-09-24 18:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311754704 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311760148  This picture book is a story about a cookie who struggles with self esteem in school. But with some help from his teacher, his confidence grows and he learns that you can be smart in different ways. This is a great book for K-2 students. I love the concept and the message!]]> 2022-09-24 18:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311760148 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311771471 This chapter book is a story about a fourth grade boy whose little brother is always causing trouble. This was my favorite book when I was in elementary school. I found it very funny and relatable. I hope to share it with my future students!]]> 2022-09-24 19:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311771471 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311772508 This chapter book is about a young girl with cerebral palsy and her journey to getting an AAC device. This was the first book I ever read that was from the perspective of a character with a disability. It is beautifully written and would open great conversations about inclusion and ableism with upper elementary students. ]]> 2022-09-24 19:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311772508 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311773326 This picture book is a twist on the classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. I have always loved twists/rewrites of fairytales! This one is very funny and clever. I think both younger and older elementary school students would enjoy it.]]> 2022-09-24 19:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311773326 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311773767 This picture book gives a brief introduction to many different disabilities. I love that it represents a wide range of disabilities and think that it would be a great resource to use to start a meaningful discussion about disabilities in the lower or upper elementary classroom.]]> 2022-09-24 19:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311773767 rgorovoy https://padlet.com/rgorovoy/izu70xmvv66i7sq0/wish/2311773998 This chapter book is written from the perspective of a hamster that is a class pet and is all about his adventures as a class pet.
