Same, Same But Different | Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw

What a fantastic book about the power of pen pals! They share the details of their lives and come to realize how similar they are but in different ways.

Spending some much needed quality time with my niece and she said there no black children in book's... well auntie Kay got to work we sang nursery rhymes with the hand action's, we found a few adventure books all with coloured children in and she loved it, we also got a date to do it all next week. Mamma was very happy too.

This RF book is probably one of my favs so far! It‘s a winner of the Ezra Jack Keats Book Award and is a cute story about two boys who are pen pals, one in India and one in the United States. They tell each other everything about their life and their world and how they are sort of the same, but different! Great story and I think it would be cool to do pen pals with our students!

ReaganT This link provides resources on how to get our students started with a pen pal! https://www.weareteachers.com/virtual-pen-pals/ I think this book goes well with ESOL strategy 24- incorporate the culture and language of second language learners in your curriculum. Having pen pals also uses UDL principle 5.1- use multiple media for communication 4y

MFlowers I really like the activity you paired with this book! 4y

StephanyNunez I really like the incorporation of culture in this book and the Esol strategy is perfect for the book. 4y

DrSpalding Your resource is fantastic! During a social studies unit you could actually have virtual penpals with another country! Through the use of Google translate, students can interact with children all over the world. Universal design principle 5.1 is just right. Excellent post. 4y

I thought this book was really cute. It follows Elliott and Kailash. Elliott lives in the US and Kailash lives in India and they become pen pals. They learn that their worlds are the same but also different. I would share this book with the little I teach. I think they would enjoy it!

HappyMaddy Great post for choral reading & touching on inclusion. So important! 5y

DrSpalding I like the idea of using this for guided reading. What kind of fiction is this? Use your genre flip guide! 5y

DrSpalding Reading is Fundamental is an excellent resource. 5y

Ok, I have some criticisms about this one, all rooted in the fact this is not an #OwnVoices book. It could have been co-authored (like Save Me A Seat) to much better impact.

LibrarianRyan

LibrarianRyan I agree. 5y

Same, Same but Different is a (RF) picture book written and illustrated by: Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw. This amazing picture book tells the story of Elliot and Kailash. They are pen pals. By exchanging letters and pictures, they learn that their world might look different, but they are actually similar. 👦🏼🌎👦🏽 #UCFLAE3414SP18

GraceNeg TS: RA, LC, IR & PR. I will implement this book as a LC. This is a way to give the students an opportunity to make connections with peers. This link takes you to an amazing lesson plan with different activities. My favorite is the letter activity because it shows children to communicate through writing. https://discoverarchive.vanderbilt.edu/bitstream/handle/1803/7131/Artifact%20B.p... 7y

AshleyC Love it!! Children do have to be exposed and understand the difference we have but still how we can be alike in many ways! Thank you for your post :) 7y
