 This book Astrid and her friends finding different interests and going their separate ways. Astrid finds an interest in roller derby while her friends are interested in ballet. it started when Astrid's mom took the to see a roller derby game/race. Astrid became super intersex in it, Nicole not so much. Roller derby is not as easy as she thought. After a while she really comes to love it, and this might actually be her passion. The theme of this book i think is that you never give up on something you love. ]]> 2018-12-03 22:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/310684987 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/310690143 Apart of the Bluebonnet Books. This is a review.

I remember this book from when I was little. I loved it then and I love it now. It is a rhyming boo that goes through the whole alphabet. They are trying to get to the top of a coconut tree. This is meant to teach students the alphabet while entertaining them. My experience from this book was when I was younger this is the book that my mom would read to help learn my ABC's. It is a catchy song and it could help in my future classroom and with my future children. ]]> 2018-12-03 23:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/310693223 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/310695292 This is a Traditional tales book.

She gets a hearing aid to help her with hearing. She starts school and is aware that she is the only person in her classroom and in the entire school that can not hear. CeCe got a device called the phonic ear that would help her be able to understand what was being said. Her teacher had a special device that would always allow CeCe to hear what was being said from her teacher. Because of this, she would laugh and the other kids wanted to know what she was laughing at. It was because of her phonic ear. This got the other kids interested and this is how CeCe got her super powers and hence, El Deaf became her nickname. She made friends despite her situation and she learned to deal with her deafness. It was a setback but did not mean CeCe was any different from anyone else.

Dear Dr. Solomon, I highly recommend this book for you or anyone else to read. It is a comical book about a cat named Chester and the author Melanie Watt. Melanie Watt is trying to tell a story to her readers but Chester wants to make the story all about him. Both Chester and the author continue to annoy each other until Melanie Watt makes the story about Chester. When she does tell the story the way Chester wants, she embarrasses him by saying he wears a pink tutu. This is a very comical book and I even laughed a couple of times when reading it. It you like funny children's books, I recommend you read this one. I would even like to read this book again to my younger siblings. That is how much I enjoyed it!]]> 2018-12-04 00:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/310704209 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/310728646 Bluebonnet book, and this is a book review.

Dear Alexa,
Just read this book that I think you will love. Its called Follow the Moon Home. It is about two girls in South Carolina that start a movement to protect sea turtles. I know how much you love turtles and that you would do anything to protect them, so I really think you would enjoy this read. Throughout the book they explain what the sea turtles have to do to get to the ocean. They then talk about how they got a bunch of people to come and watch the sea turtles go into the ocean. Please read and tell me what you think.
Much love,

This book was an amazing read. Just wonderful. It made me laugh, cry and get so, so angry. the story is an eye opener into the world of an animal. Even with it being a fictional book I could totally see this as being a real life situation. This book is about friendship, and the hardship of being a beastly gorilla. Ivan doesn't like remembering his passed, so he chose to forget it. In doing that he lost a part of himself. Once ruby arrives and he tells his story's he wants something better for her. This book makes you want to look at your life and see how you can fix some of the things in your life. While reading this i thought of how I could put this into my future classroom, and being able to have a safe environment for the students to learn and create they wild wonderfully. If i were to cut them off from the world and imagination it could demolish their chances of fully becoming what they should be. ]]> 2018-12-12 18:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/313999285 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314005122 2018-12-12 19:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314005122 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314007726 This is a Non-Fictional/Informational book.

Dear Dr. Solomon, I really enjoyed this book. It is pretty much a book about being comfortable in your own skin and being proud of who you are. There are many different shades of color in this world and that is one of the things that make us different and unique. This book suggests that we all should be proud of where we came from and who we are. We should all be ourselves and do anything and everything that makes us happy. I would definitely love to read this book with a younger sibling of mine. This is a book that I think every young child should read. He or she needs to know that each kid is special and they need to be happy and proud in their own skin.]]> 2018-12-12 19:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314007726 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314010109 This is a Banned Book.

"Popoca refused to move. He stayed next to Izta, just as he had promised when he first met her. As long as tonatiuh rises, as long as the cenzontle bird sings."
I found this book to be very heartfelt. It kind of reminded me of Romeo and Juliet in some way. This book shows the love and dedication between the two characters. It was really sad when Izta had been killed because a soldier had lied and told her that Popoca had been killed in battle. Poppa would not leave her side and was confident that she would wake up, even though she never did. I would definitely read this book again. ]]> 2018-12-12 19:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314016484 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314023874 This is a Fantasy Book.

I loved this book when I was younger. I would read it after I finished the TAKS test. I would finish it the same day. I really enjoyed watching him go through the everyday life of a regular kid. I live the pictures throughout it that explain what you are reading. The way the book is written makes me think of an actual student writing it. It reminds me a lot about The Last Kids On Earth book. They are both written in the same format. The book is a good read and one of my favorites from my childhood. ]]> 2018-12-12 19:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314029034 ksmith1031 https://padlet.com/ksmith1031/xv8ms5pdqlp4/wish/314031171 This is a Newberry Book.
