In actuality, the students are the ones that are really being tricked by their teacher. ]]> 2017-11-02 18:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203078886 mkherren https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203099008 Love You Forever, by Robert Munsch
This has been my favorite picture book, ever since my third grade teacher read it to me in class. I remember crying in class, thinking about my mother, and how much she means to me. This book, even as a small third grader, will always mean so much to me, as it symbolizes the inseparable relationship I share with my mother. ]]> 2017-11-02 19:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203099008 https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203099261 Are You My Mother? by P. D. Eastman
This is my favorite picture book because my daughter laughed so hard each time I read this book to her!]]> 2017-11-02 19:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203099261 vmthomas https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203101533 I absolutely loved A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon growing up. I use to love flipping the pages to see the colorful and creative artwork. The story is about a young girl, Camilla, who is teased because she likes lima beans and decides to no longer like them, which causes her to get the stripes. However, what I enjoyed most was the most simple lesson of all, which was to stay true to who you are, no matter what anyone else might think. ]]> 2017-11-02 19:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203101533 https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203105085 I really liked this book growing up. For a really long while I only heard one version of the story of the 3 little pigs, so this version was refreshing and new in a comedic way. The idea of having contrast in such a popular tale made this my favorite picture book growing up. ]]> 2017-11-02 20:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203105085 peemareyo https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203105285 No Matter What 
by Debi Gliori
This is my favorite picture book because it reminds me of my start in education. I began teaching in Pre-K many years ago. My students really enjoyed this story and loved to read along with me and exaggerate the words "no maaatter what"!]]> 2017-11-02 20:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203105285 https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203105664 2017-11-02 20:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203105664 https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203115844 Sneetches
by Dr. Seuss

This was one of my favorites growing up because it taught me at a very young age just how ridiculous it is to hold someone's physical appearance against them.]]> 2017-11-02 20:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203115844 ldwalker https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203120528 I remember my teacher reading this book to us for Earth Day! in college ! We had an awesome project that went along with it that really pulled us into the book. Gave a true appreciation for the Earth!  I love how the book has someone to speak on behalf of the trees that were being cut down!]]> 2017-11-02 21:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/203120528 https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/205734115 Curious George
by H.A. Rey 

Curious George was one of my favorite books as a kid. I seemed to identify myself with him quite a bit. What others may have seen as mischief, was actually just the case of wanting to know. You gotta Love Curious George.

by: Maurice Sendak

Children have very vivid imaginations. What child did not dream of going to their own island and becoming a King or Queen? This book provided just that dream, and I recall hearing it before nap-time in Kindergarten and dreaming of becoming the King of my very own island.

This was the book that I read over and over escaping into a Fairy Tale world. I have always enjoyed a good fantastical , magical story.   I am sure - that love stems from the fairy tales I poured over in this book.  Tudor's masterful  illustrations captivated me as a young girl.  And they still do.  I am going to take out my copy this weekend. :o) ]]> 2017-11-10 17:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/205769491 https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/205786950 My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother
by: Patricia Polacco

This book teaches a valuable life lesson if you have a sibling. I love how everything within this book is a competition between the brother and sister. If I had a sibling I believe we would act the same way as they did within this book. It makes you wonder if you can really wish upon a falling star to have something come true.]]> 2017-11-10 18:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/205786950 nldavis https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/205836698 Come Back, Amelia Bedelia
by Peggy Parish
pictures by Wallace Tripp

I loved reading even before I could actually do so. I would spread the comics page every Sunday and make up my own stories. So having to choose just one favorite picture book is extremely hard. There are so many options: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, Madeline, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Frog and Toad, Math Curse, and it goes on forever!

 I loved every book in the Amelia Bedelia series with her crazy antics and very literal understanding, but I chose Come Back, Amelia Bedelia. As a kid, I remember laughing so hard at her take on what people tell her to do. It teaches the importance of giving clear directions and how sometimes someone may need additional clarity. From a teacher standpoint now, it shows that in the end, everyone is valuable in some way, even if they work your nerves.

by Kelly Dipucchio

This book was a big inspiration to my daughter and I enjoyed reading it with her. With the election of our nations first African American president, Barack Obama, this book helped to motivate her that anyone can do it.During the time of the book she was participating in a class wide election and was not satisfied with the position her teacher had chosen for her. After reading the book she felt a little more confident in taking on the role she was given and doing her best no matter what the outcome was. ]]> 2017-11-10 22:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dnwoodard/klz5gb2mheig/wish/205837738
