Puerto Rico is a NF filled with interesting facts about the island that I would use for PR. Did you know that Puerto Rico is smaller than all of the U.S. states except Rhode Island & Delaware or that it‘s unofficial symbol is a tree frog called the coquí? Include this book in your classroom for everyone to learn more about the history and culture of Puerto Rico ??! #UCFLAE3414SP18

WendyV It‘s important to include other cultures in your curriculum, especially those of any ESL students (EL 24). If I had students from PR I would use this book to teach a lesson on the US territory and hope to optimize students engagement by learning more about where other classmates are from (UDL 7.2). 7y

WendyV I found a suggested lesson to teach students after hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/learning/lesson-plans...

NanaBurf Kids need to know they are part of the USA even if not a state. Great book to help children that have refugees from the hurricane in their classes to understand their culture 7y

Kendallc This could be used in so many ways! Geography, lesson on countries, culture, the possibilities are endless!! 7y

SadiqaH I agree with you that it is very important to add books about different countries and cultures . It helps students to understand diversity very well 7y

DrSpalding Excellent book for Social Studies! There are standards that could be met with the use of this book. Nice, current resource. EL/UDL ALIGNED! (edited) 7y
