Amazing! What a funny MF book that is sure to bring laughter to your classroom. Journey with Ike La Rue as he writes down his excursions in obedience school which can be considered quite dramatic.

Mmurphy This would be an awesome RA as your students follow along, they will be able to process the information and visualize it (3.3) UDL. They will understand the information whenever they see how his letters don‘t always match up with what‘s happening.

For my EL students, we need to make sure to give them enough time to respond on whether or not these letters match his experiences (22).

An awesome resource is a discussion guide provided by scholastic, so we can make sure we are creating proper questions for our RA. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/dear-mrs-larue...

DrSpalding Much like The Day the Crayons Quit, this book is excellent for teaching children how to write friendly letters. Scholastic is a wonderful, high-quality resource. Read aloud is the appropriate teaching strategy for this quality picture book. 4y

#MarchIntoThe70s Day 29: The story begins with our modern dog-hero, ‘Ike‘ La Rue being enrolled in the Igor Brotweiler Canine Academy due to a “long list of behavioral problems” which includes food pilfering, chasing the cats of the neighbor. Clearly, Ike cannot wait until #SchoolsOut. My review of this epistolary picturebook here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-FD

Cinfhen I‘m mentally preparing my children‘s library for the grandkids 😂😂 6y

This F story is a comical read and would be great for PR. It tells the story of a pup named Ike who is upset at his owner for sending him to obedience school. During the reading, partners could examine Ike‘s feelings and discuss how they would feel in his position, which goes hand-in-hand with UDL 9.3. Additionally, partners could use ESOL 9 to take notes on the sequences of events in the book as they read.

AndreaC The following link leads to a Scholastic discussion guide that features four fun activities, including a worksheet about differing views and Ike‘s report card: https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/dear-mrs-larue... #UCFLAE3414f17 7y

This cute F book would be great for SR. The book is about a dog who writes to his owner from obedience school begging to come back home because he is a good dog not a bad dog! This book would be great to teach students how to write letters. UDL 7.2 Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity. ESOL 15 reinforce the key ideas you present again and again. #UCFLAE3414F17

Juliemorell I remember this book! Such a cute story. And your right; this is great for teaching kids how to write letters! 7y
