Trying to fit this in during the last two weeks before going back to school! This is the required summer reading novel for my new kiddos and will start a year-long justice unit. Hoping I enjoy it!

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy is a Printz award winning (HF) novel. It is written by: Gary D. Schmidt. This novel is about the son of a minister who has recently moved to Maine. The year of 1912, where racism and prejudice is still evident. He finds himself not able to fit in until he meets Lizzie and his life experiences change for the better. TS: RA, RT, IR, and GR.

GraceNeg This book can be used as a RT. This strategy is great to promote fluency and read aloud with expression. This link takes you to a play that can actually be done with children. http://playsforyoungaudiences.org/scripts/lizzie-bright-and-the-buckminster-boy/ UDL 5.3 ESOL 17. #UCFLAE3414SP18 7y

"The world turns and the world spins, the tide runs in and the tide runs out, and there is nothing in the world more beautiful and more wonderful in all its evolved forms than two souls who look at each other straight on. And there is nothing more woeful and soul-saddening than when they are parted."

My favorite book about nature (and much more) on my shelf for #readjanuary. Little sister is reading this one for our #2017sisterschallenge.

It's been 7 years since I read this gem of a book and I still think about it. It made me laugh and cry.
