Way We Do It in Japan | 
pickThis GREAT RF books is one of my favorites! It‘s about a boy who lived in California but then had to move to Tokyo for his fathers job. This book shares his journey into a Japanese lifestyle. This book would be great RA book because students can learn new unfamiliar Japanese words. The resource below provides background on the author. UDL 1.3 aligns with this resource because information on the author is displayed online. #ucflae3414su19

DawnS This would be a great book to shift a perspective of learning about cultures. Since most young children only think of it in terms of coming to America, seeing how a US citizen transfers to another country would raise some good questions and I think empathy as well. 5y

Kcompton2912 I love the content of this book. It can really help our students learn about how education is different across the world. It will also help students understand what it is like for the fellow EL students in the classroom. 5y
Bshelton27 I think this would be a great way to incorporate a different language into the classroom! I think Japanese culture is something that isn‘t super popular in the classroom so I love that you did a post on it! 5y
DrSpalding Having books as mirrors and windows is so important to your classroom library. You have made many diverse books selections. Please make sure your classroom library represents the children you teach. 5y
