This book is very entertaining and easy to follow. I think that the message is really important and valuable to all ages, not just the younger grades. It shows that popularity doesn‘t matter and being mean is not “cool”, that it is important to be kind and can change someone‘s day or life.
pickThis is a book about a group of “cool” beans that come into school. Another bean watched from a distance and thought they were so cool, and felt left out because he used to know them. He thought of himself as an “uncool” bean. One day he dropped his lunch and the cool beans helped him clean it up, and they helped when he fell and got hurt. It teaches kids to be kind to one another.
pick4 ⭐ The seed books are really good with puns and playing on common words and phrases. This time they take a jab at “cool beans”. This book is about the cool beans in school, and how one lonely bean feels left out. It is a great lesson in what actually makes someone cool. It‘s a bit long for story time, but would work well in a classroom setting.
pickThe Cool Bean! 😎 This MF, RA book has a wonderful message that should be introduced to young students. The book is about a bean who wants to be cool like the “cool beans”. To the little beans surprise, the “cool beans” were actually really nice and helpful! They were kind to him when he needed it most! The overall theme of this book is not to judge someone based off how they look. In addition it is actually really ‘cool‘ to be kind to everyone.
pickThis MF book about an uncool bean who misses his old friends the cool beans would be a great DR that your students could do to learn and compassion and friendship. https://youtu.be/mUllxW2Qy_4 this video shows how the illustrations of the beans are done. EL strategy provide contextual support through audio visuals, models, demonstrations, realia, body language, and facial expressions. UDL principle 1.2 offer alternatives for auditory information.
So "The Cool Bean" kinda snuck into the lineup, but it was a quick, adorable read. Great compliment to the "Bad Seed" series ?
Finished that along with two other books this past week and just as I had hoped, "Snug" was my Valentine's day read ??
Still making progress with the poetry anthology "Ink".
Up next: a more substantial review of "A Fire Story" and a new weekly forecast ?
