https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1 by Miss Kiandra en-us 2020-05-22 17:57:13 UTC 2024-03-07 15:45:03 UTC hello@padlet.com kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/589496600 I chose this book because it is a personal favorite as I discovered it while completing my diverse portrayals project with Dr. Han last semester. It is a book I can relate to as a person with a biracial and bicultural family. I think it is a great representation of who I am and why it is okay to be mixed. I would read this as a self-introduction so that my student could learn something about myself and my background as it is an underrepresented group that they have most likely not read about or acknowledged before. ]]> 2020-05-22 17:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/589496600 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/589518765 I chose this book due to the fact that no matter which child I am assigned, they will have a strong relation to the book topic which is about a treehouse. The Holly classroom at PCL spent the year working on their treehouse project which was finalized a few months ago. I am sure they are missing their extensive outside time so I believe it would be a great book for them to talk about what they are missing and use their prior knowledge to further their reading comprehension skills. ]]> 2020-05-22 18:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/589518765 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/589528876 I chose this book because it brings a comedic and fun twist to the idea of being quiet or playing quietly. The Holly room kids are known for their excitement and loudness but I think this book would be a fun reminder that inside voices and quiet steps should still be considered. Especially since they are inside a lot more with their families. ]]> 2020-05-22 18:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/589528876 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636824404 This book is an entertaining favorite of mine. I read it a lot in my first internship and it is always fun to reread and go over voice and tone. It is a relatable book for children that is comedic and fun.]]> 2020-06-23 01:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636824404 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636825982 I chose this book for the collection because Batu has done a great job in identifying patterns so I think this rhythmic pattern book will help him in those areas to build on his strengths as well as letter recognition. 
I picked this because it was a book read to me a lot in elementary school and I enjoyed it every time. I think that Batu would really enjoy the story. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636825982 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636828082 Batu's recall ability has blown me away and I think the physical component of this book would be great one to reread and work on patterns as well. It would also get him up and moving so it brings a fun active component as well. 
I picked this book because it is one of my personal favorites to read aloud because it really gets your body moving. Connecting language to movement is another form of expression for him to explore. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636828082 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636829626 I chose this book as another pattern option with a highly rhythmic flow. I have used this book in the past and incorporated movement with it as well to the beat of the words. It is always fun to read again and it is representative of the black community. It has a lot of rhyming which is a topic that he has a good foundation of but still needs to focus on the skill for a while. 
I picked this book because in my experience of reading it over and over with the two year olds at PCL, it is highly entertaining. The rhyming follows a consistent beat throughout the book so its easy to pick up on and you can add different movements to the pattern. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636829626 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636838101 This was a book that I read before I started kindergarten and it got me familiar with how things will go and excited to learn and meet new friends. I recommend reading before his first day so that you can discuss what they can expect and get them confident and ready to go. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636838101 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636841239 This book is a realistic book about having a unique name and learning to appreciate it. I think it is a great lesson that will make any child proud of their name and who they are. 
I grew up saying a nickname instead of my real name and it made me feel a lot better when I went by my given, unique name. I want my students to be proud of their names so that is why I chose this book for Batu. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636841239 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636842758 This book is another childhood favorite of mine that I think Batu would enjoy and thrive with when it comes to making connections and predictions. It is a great book to have a discussion with and find out his thought process and how he comes up with his predictions and connections. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636842758 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636846596 I feel that this would be an entertaining book that teaches a lesson about family as well as having the rhyming component. It is about parent and child problem solving in a fun way. 
I picked this book because of Batu's sense of humor. He likes funny books and I think he would have a lot to say about this book. I predict that it would invoke an interesting discussion. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636846596 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636848756 This would be a great bed time story that gives an immense amount of vocabulary that would greatly add to Batu's oral language development. It has new and interesting words that can be added to Batu's vocabulary as he also understands when to use words in certain contexts very well. ]]> 2020-06-23 01:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636848756 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636852646 This is a funny book that will test Batu's knowledge of what rules should be followed instead of what the character is doing. It is a funny way to bring up discipline by showing an entertaining example. 
I picked this childhood favorite of mine because it is a funny way to see what not to do and discuss why. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636852646 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636857369 This book is a good choice for working on concepts of print in an entertaining and engaging way. Batu has some understanding of specific print concepts but I think this book would be a great way to expand his knowledge. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636857369 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636859974 This book is a great for a pinpointed focus on rhyming. Batu is getting better with beginning sounds so I think rhymes are a good concept to work on and understand ending sounds in a fun way. 
I picked this book because it has a lot of funky words that will help Batu begin to think about what words and sentences make sense. It is also fun because he enjoys the concept of rhyming a lot from his reaction to my rhyming book and activities over the month. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636859974 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636865024 This book is a celebration about being true to yourself and loving yourself and others no matter what they look like, talk, like act like and more. It is important to acknowledges differences and diversity in a positive light and I think this book does a great job of that.]]> 2020-06-23 02:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636865024 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636867765 I chose this book firstly because I know that one of Batu's main interests is in space. This is a book with child-friendly definitions of complex concepts relating to space and the force of gravity. It is filled with cool facts and uses great pictures along with a funny story line. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636867765 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636872258 This is another book by Eric Carle that follows a pattern as well. It would be  great for discussing predictions and expanding upon ideas for each animal. 
I picked this book because I know Batu enjoys discovering patterns and adding rhythm to them. This is a fun one and a childhood favorite of mine. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636872258 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636874175 This book is something familiar to Batu because it is a song that he has most likely heard at PCL. It could be used as a problem and solution discussion book after finishing the book to figure out how the monkeys can still have fun without hurting themselves. This would be a good way to see where his imagination takes him and add to his vocabulary and oral language development through conversation. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636874175 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636876434 This is a book I discovered a few months ago that talks about speaking different languages and having different cultures in one family. Since Batu's home language is Turkish I think he will be able to connect to the bilingual aspect and learn about another culture in the process. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636876434 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636878250 This book is about an Asian family with many subcultures that come together for a new years celebration and the main character is a young girl that wants to help with the cooking process. It is a book with a diverse family and a great way to share multi-cultural families and some of the aspects of each individual culture in the book. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636878250 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636880766 I chose this book because it is a classic story with an empathetic message about not judging others by the way they look. This is an important lesson for all children to learn especially before entering kindergarten because being aware of how your words and choices effect others is critical. 
I picked this book because self-esteem is an important topic and children should learn to build each other up instead of judging. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636880766 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636882495 This is an almost wordless picture book that is great to hone in on Batu's observational skills. He is great at picking up details from pictures and I am sure he would be able to make some great connections to the story as well. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636882495 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636884862 This book is a very funny book that can bring about very imaginative predictions. I think it also shows why it is important to know what you are putting into your mouth and in your body.. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636884862 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636887928 This is a book that puts a funny twist on honesty. I used this book as our very first read aloud together and I think that by re-reading it, Batu could make a lot of new and amazing connections because I was already blown away the first time. I think it would be good for him to point out details himself and make even more realizations. ]]> 2020-06-23 02:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636887928 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636893310 This book is great for creating a discussion around the visuals. It is a story that already uses your imagination in order to be engaged so the discussion surrounding it could be very interesting as well. ]]> 2020-06-23 03:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636893310 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636894602 This book depicts a great lesson on sharing instead of being selfish. It shows how sharing helps you build trust and make friends. It can invoke a discussion about personal connections and times where Batu has shared and it made him feel good. 
I picked this book for him because I think it is important to realize how special you are by yourself but sharing your light with others is even greater.]]> 2020-06-23 03:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636894602 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636896970 This book is something I know Batu has a connection to because Pete the Cat is a Holly Room favorite and in one of our sessions he made a connection to the song the wheels on the bus. Since he is familiar with both I think it would be great for him to have an observational discussion about the book seeing the differences in Pete's version versus the original. ]]> 2020-06-23 03:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636896970 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636899269 This was our second read aloud together and I think that Batu can go even more in depth with connections and linking his prior knowledge to key details. It is one of his favorite characters and he told me he enjoyed this book so I think it would be a great reread to develop his fluency and process how it is being modeled to him. 
I picked this book because I think he can really expand his knowledge and enhance his vocabulary by talking about Iron Man, a character he knows very well. Asking open-ended questions about him like what do you think he's thinking about can prompt him into better comprehending the story. ]]> 2020-06-23 03:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636899269 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636902349 I chose this book because it is an introduction to the character so I think it would be a great book to find out what he knows before hand, what he is able to discuss and make connections with and then identify what information was new to him.
I picked this for Batu because he says a lot when it comes to his favorite superheroes so this is a great way to have a discussion and enhance his vocabulary and comprehension. ]]> 2020-06-23 03:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/636902349 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641777327 2020-06-27 17:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641777327 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641777862 2020-06-27 17:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641777862 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641778329 2020-06-27 17:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641778329 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641779229 2020-06-27 17:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641779229 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641780218 2020-06-27 18:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641780218 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641781962 2020-06-27 18:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641781962 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641826030 2020-06-27 20:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641826030 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641826457 2020-06-27 20:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641826457 kiandra2 https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641827168 2020-06-27 20:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kiandra2/ki45lmg11ys9aga1/wish/641827168
