The books fall into two categories.

This book is humorous and which I believe Kaylee will enjoy while practicing expressive reading.]]> 2022-04-12 22:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2141556461 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2142361375 After being left behind when her community leaves their island village, a young girl named Karana must display courage and learn to survive alone.

Americans are not completely away from the Nazi invasion of Norway, through this book Kaylee can learn about this period of time through these children's lenses. While the book is adventurous, it also teaches her about courage. I think Kaylee will like how the book talks about snow, she mentioned a few times she's dying to see snow.]]> 2022-04-13 13:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2142369890 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2142434430 When Claudia decided to run away, she planned very carefully. She would go to live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Kaylee mentioned to me how she wanted to go in see New York City one day. I think this book would be a great fit for her.

Each chapter is narrated in the first person by the various class pets that inhabit the classrooms. The pets range from hamsters to snakes to fish to birds and getting their different perspectives on the ruckus is extremely entertaining, to say the least. Kaylee really likes books with animals in them and I think the different chapters with different character narration would help benefit her expressive reading skills.]]> 2022-04-13 14:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2142446580 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2142454985 One of Kaylee's biggest interests is art, origami specifically.

The series follows Greg Heffley, a middle-schooler who illustrates his daily life in a diary. During my interest inventory Kaylee told me this series was her favorite.]]> 2022-04-14 21:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144351253 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144563750 A family road trip is supposed to be a lot of fun unless, of course, you’re the Heffleys. The journey starts off full of promise, then quickly takes several wrong turns. This book is number 9 in the DOAWK series so I assumed Kaylee may have not read it yet. I felt she could relate to Gregs' road trip journey going wrong because Kaylee has a lot of siblings meaning things never go as planned and Kaylee will be going on a road trip herself this summer when she moves.]]> 2022-04-15 02:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144563750 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144569118 Greg Heffley is in big trouble. School property has been damaged, and Greg is the prime suspect. But the crazy thing is, he’s innocent. Or at least sort of. Books like this offer lots of anticipation which I believe will motivate Kaylee to keep reading. The story also takes place during a blizzard and snow is something Kaylee is very interested in experiencing. ]]> 2022-04-15 02:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144569118 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144572145 As Greg enters the new school year, he’s eager to put the past three months behind him and one event in particular. Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother, Rodrick, knows all about the incident Greg wants to keep a secret. Kaylee has a few siblings which whom she mostly gets along with. I think this book would be a fun read for her to relate to any kind of sibling rivalry. This book also offers the anticipation of whether Greg's secret is going to get released or not.]]> 2022-04-15 02:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144572145 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144576321 From the imagination of Rowley Jefferson comes an adventure of epic proportions. Join Roland and his best friend, Garg the Barbarian on their adventure. This book is not a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, but it is written by the same author. Since Kaylee enjoys the series, I believe she will like other works by this author. ]]> 2022-04-15 02:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144576321 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144581096 I chose to add a nonfiction picture book to this category. They participated in some of NASA's greatest successes. And they did so during a time when being black and a woman limited what they could do. I think all girls and boys should read this book between 3rd-5th grade and incorporate it into science and STEM lessons. This is a very inspiring text for young students like Kaylee to see what they can accomplish through challenging times.]]> 2022-04-15 02:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144581096 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144585726 This book incorporates adventure, art, and poetry that encourages girls to value and center themselves. Each colorful page is a celebration of strength and diversity that highlights cultures, art, and geography in Mexico. I chose this book so Kaylee can see a girl that has the same heritage as her and also include art and poetry in her readings.]]> 2022-04-15 03:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144585726 sarahynson https://padlet.com/sarahynson/nrzyuhk8nz4igp4q/wish/2144591717  In a fast-paced adventure with the monuments as a backdrop, the kids try to stay out of danger and out of the doghouse while trying to save the president from attack-or maybe not. This book is highly recommended as a humorous read while providing adventure and details about Washington D.C.
