The Bee Tree | Patricia Polacco

Pickpick

The Bee Tree written and illustrated by Patricia Polacco is a RF picture book that I think would be best used as a RA in a second grade classroom. This book is about a girl named Mary Ellen who is bored with her reading. Her grandfather takes her on an outdoor adventure following a bee to a bee tree and shows her just how sweet reading can be! #UCFLAE3414F19

katiehamlin The EL strategy I would use with this book is 11 (Place language in meaningful context). This book is about how fun reading can be and how sweet it can be, which can be very meaningful if students allow it to be. You could use this book to help them realize this and create a meaningful impact on their lives. 5y
katiehamlin The UDL principle I would use is 3.3 (Guide information processing and visualization). One activity I would do with this book is bring in honey and crackers, since the book uses honey to show how sweet reading can be, so this principle would help students visualize the concept more and help process the book more clearly. 5y
katiehamlin The resource I would use for this book is https://www.jumpintoabook.com/2013/05/the-bee-tree-by-patricia-polacco/ . It is a website that has some great activities to get students involved hands-on in the classroom!

DrSpalding Extension activities that incorporate hands-on activities are so wise. They engage students and help them to remember the content. 5y
