It teaches many great things to students and starts important conversations about empathy, acceptance, and most importantly kindness. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858476 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858499 My students loved all of the Pete the Cat books, but this was a great one to use at the beginning of the year to introduce them to the different parts of their daily schedule. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858499 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858529 A great text for younger students. It focuses on counting skills and is a great introduction before a butterfly unit. We used this as a comparison text with a nonfiction text. We compared what we learned about caterpillars and what in the story is real and what is make believe. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858529 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858566 A great read for younger students. It follows an elephant named Ellie and how she works to find something that she is good at. It highlights how everyone in a community has something important that they can contribute. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858566 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858604 A book with beautiful illustrations and an equally beautiful message. The young girl in the story feels that she can't make art, but with her teacher's support she learns an important lesson.]]> 2017-08-14 01:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858604 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858714 Some great classics can be found on this list compiled by teachers!]]> 2017-08-14 01:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858714 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858765 My students last year loved this story! Every time we went to the library, one of my students took this book out. It was a great way for them to practice the alphabet and to practice sequencing events in the story. We also had a wonderful visual aide to go with this text. We had a coconut tree plush figure and velcro letters that went on to the tree. It made this truly an engaging text for the students. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858765 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858898 Students love this book and it is a great book to use to teach cause and effect. There are also hand puppets that can be purchased to use as a visual aid with this text. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858898 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858900 Great book that shows children a different perspective and can help students work on colors!]]> 2017-08-14 01:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180858900 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180859386 I love using the big books when working with younger elementary students. It makes it easy for all students to see the text and the pictures. Lakeshore has a decent collection online. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180859386 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180859608 I had found ones similar to these on Teacherspayteachers.com and loved them! Instead of buying an expensive listening station, the students learned how to scan the QR codes, plug their headphones into an iPad and then listened to audio books. I haven't used these before but they look good. Might consider them in the future. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180859608 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180860516 This is such an easy solution to make additional seating in the classroom. Alternative seating so students can read where they feel most comfortable. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180860516 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180860656 This is a cool idea that I originally saw on pinterest. Even though this blog is for middle school teachers, I feel this could be easily adapted for younger students. What a great way for students to get excited about reading!]]> 2017-08-14 01:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180860656 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861110 I saw this on pinterest and thought it was a very interesting way to engage students in silent reading. It's a great reward that students can work for and another way to get them excited about reading. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861110 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861164 I love this idea for elementary school classrooms. The younger students love stuffed animals and it's a great way to get them in the habit of reading aloud and practicing reading fluency in front of a nonjudgemental audience.  Saw this and more from the following teacher blog http://www.teacherbythebeach.com/2014/08/classroom-pictures-2014-15.html]]> 2017-08-14 01:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861164 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861444 This is a great way to encourage students to discuss the books they have been reading. This empowers students to share their favorite books with their peers and for their peers to get a suggestion if they are having difficulty picking out a book. And love them on the fish, such a cute idea!

It rewards students for reading books and it is a great way for students to see how much reading they are doing!]]> 2017-08-14 01:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861634 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861920 Cool freebie from http://www.havingclassinthird.com/2014/02/classroom-libraries-freebie-alert.html

The posters are awesome for the classroom and clearly show the students examples and the definition of the different types of book genres. ]]> 2017-08-14 01:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861920 emily_r_lopez9 https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180861924 My students were always coming up to me and letting me know that a book was broken, the page had ripped, etc. This is a great way for students to know the procedure for a broken book and just put it in the book hospital to be repaired later.

The story has a wonderful message on the importance of making mistakes but never giving up and how mistakes are a part of the learning process. A personal favorite of mine. And many other great books by this author to check out!]]> 2017-08-14 01:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r_lopez9/pb0ub517xsni/wish/180862397
