Chester's Way

pick

I found a few other random children's books at the book fair that I didn't post, and this was one of them. When I took one look at this book, I thought "Hey, that looks familiar!" So I added it to my bag, and sure enough, I read through it this morning and it all came flooding back to me.

My mother collects mice figurines, so as a child I would always seem to be drawn to books with mice. ?

Chester's Way | Kevin Henkes

Chester‘s Way is a beautifully illustrated MF by Kevin Henkes. It is the tale of two best friends who meet a new kid in the neighborhood. They immediately reject her because she's so different. Chester‘s Way is a fun read for early elementary students, but it also covers two important aspects of SEL: relationship skills and social awareness.

nquintus This Keystone award-winning picture book would be excellent in an LC, allowing kids to think deeply about and discuss friendship, empathy, and embracing others‘ differences. As part of an LC, Chester's Way meets UDL guideline 9.3 regarding self-assessment and reflection, as well as ESOL strategy 17: providing support through visuals. This strategy, along with the resource above, can help to create a classroom culture of acceptance and friendship! 4y

DrSpalding I appreciate the extra effort on your images. If you didn‘t look at the pictures, you would think this is realistic fiction. Henkes does a beautiful job of helping students relate to his stories. Beyond a literature circle in the primary grades, these books are best read aloud and integrated into an author study. 4y

Chester's way is an animal fantasy about a sweet friendship that is changed for the better when Lilly moves to town. This book is a great way for children to learn about differences and similarities among the people we encounter and that they should never judge a book by its cover. For a fun activity to go along with the reading go to: http://cfmedia.btsb.com/TitleLessonPlans/1729.pdf

DrSpalding What a great message this story sends to the reader! Way to go! 8y

krystag This would be a great book to teach students about diversity in the classroom! It can be even more engaging if the students are familiar with the author as well! I would definitely use in the classroom since it is very important to create this type of lesson about acceptance in the classroom! 8y

katelynn_lawson I believe that accepting others for who they are and not judging is something that kids should never lose sight of! I would love to read this book. 😊 8y

HeyMsBowen For some reason I thought this was Chrysanthemum! But this book is SO good for teaching acceptance. :) I love it!! (edited) 8y

katelynn_lawson I'm the mouse on the left, the boots and all. So sweet. 8y
