Named to Bank Street College of Education’s prestigious 2016 Best Children’s Books of the Year with a star for outstanding merit. Named to Bayviews Outstanding List (online journal for the Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California (ACL)) 2017 Skipping Stones Honor Book After being sent to bed early the previous night, Melena wakes up to a new day with a song in her heart. At breakfast she learns she has been given a “fresh start,” and she decides to celebrate by doing things differently for the rest of the day. Melena chooses not to fight with her brother, and shares the money she has rather than demanding to be repaid by a less fortunate friend. This story introduces children to the concept of jubilee, which stresses the important principles of debt relief, generosity, and forgiveness. Aaron Boyd’s mixed-media illustrations are as bright and vivid as a sun-washed day. Fountas & Pinnell Level M

This RF book would be good for a RT for the message of forgiveness it conveys. It is about a girl and how she manages to start her new fresh day with different intentions. This could be used in the classroom to teach students to read beyond the text and look at the bigger picture. #LAE3414sp19

Zmohammad The UDL strategy 8.4 Increase mastery-oriented feedback and ESOL 6 Continually monitor studentsā€ comprehension align with the RT by promoting comprehension and elaboration of the text. http://top100childrensbooks.weebly.com/blog/melenas-jubilee-the-story-of-a-fresh... this website provides the break down of the authors point of view and would be a good resource to review after the RT.
