Missing May | Cynthia Rylant

so-so

I read this one with my daughter, and it‘s much more about grief than any other children‘s book I‘ve read. A young girl is adopted by an extended family member after her parents die, and then loses her new surrogate mother. I‘d recommend the author‘s book Gooseberry Park over this one, but will continue to try some of her other work.

#HeatOfJuly Day 21: Fierce #IllBeMissingYou vibes in this Newbery Medal book. As Iphigene noted in her review: It takes the reader through the journey of loss, finding one‘s bearing and reason to live in the aftermath of death and bereavement. It‘s a wonderful book to introduce grief and loss to younger readers. Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-4Ii

Finished my second book for the #4in48readathon: Missing May. I tagged so many quotes for such a short book. Oh, I nearly cried; and I‘m a tough cookie!

Missing May is a wonderful Newbery winner that is about grieving. In this RF story it follows Summer who was left to be taken care of by her Aunt May and Uncle Ob after her mother passes away. She is extremely happy living with them until Aunt May dies while gardening. The story takes you through how both Summer and Ob are handling their loss and they take completely different routes. #UCFLAE3414f17

MeganMc This book would be a great AS because it showcases how wonderful the author, Cynthia Rylant is. http://edu.glogster.com/glog/cynthia-rylant/2soao9ral37 this link takes you to a glog I created about Cynthia Rylant. This would fit right into a AS to provide so much information about the author. There is a list of her books, multiple websites for teaching activities, and some background knowledge on her. 7y

MeganMc The UDL strategy would be 5.1 use multiple media for communication. The EL strategy would be 29 Offer a. Variety of reference materials at the students‘ instructional level for independent use. 7y

HNager I love how you linked it to you glog. Your UDL and EL strategies go well together! 7y

DrSpalding I also enjoy the fact that you used your good work as your resource. Now, use it in your future classrooms. 7y

Winner of the gold Newberry Medal, Missing May teaches you all about how loving is believing. When Summer's Aunt May passes away, she's left with her depressed Uncle Ob. Together, they try to find traces of May in any way that they can.

And I finish up the year with 2 Newbery winners. (I liked 'Missing May' better.) I wanted a couple of easier books so I'd reach my 100-book goal 🎉🎊 I started my 'Read-the Newbery Winners' project in May of 2011 and should catch up to the current title by May of 2017 - I only have 11 left. Happy New Year to all and wishing you many wonderful books/reading hours in 2017! 📚📚📚

LauraBrook I e often toyed with a kids award winner challenge of some kind. And you're almost done! Congrats on making it to your goal this year, and I look forward to all of the great books you read next year. Happy New Year! 8y
