I found this great book at Dollar Tree. Always stay on the lookout. You never know what you will find. 😊

There is on the one hand a wonderful message here, many Americans are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. But what is so utterly disappointing is Native Americans are invisible, as in entirely absent in this story. How does this continue to happen? I was compelled to make the correction for my daughter after we finished reading it. Sad.

GingerAntics At least you pointed it out to her. I have a feeling most parents don‘t. 5y

Butterfinger Have you seen @Come-read-with-me post? Indigenous children, in 2017, were represented 0.9% of books. In 2018, it rose to 1%. Why is this population still ignored? 5y

alisonrose Yeah, that seems kind of odd to have a book about people immigrating here without talking about the people who were here originally! That‘s disappointing because if it had been more inclusive, it sounds like it would have been a terrific book. 5y

In This is Me, a teacher is explaining how her family came to the United States. This book is written by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell and illustrated by Laura Cornell. She explains to her students that her Grandmother couldn‘t take a lot of items and asks her students what would they take if they had to only back things that can fit into a small suitcase. #LAE3414sp19

LaGasseSam1996 This story is a RF story. All the events in the story could really happen. Although this story is not an award winning book, I think students especially students who came from other countries would enjoy in a read aloud. (edited) 6y

LaGasseSam1996 I think ESOL 24 would be amazing in this story. You can build a whole lesson plan around your students cultures and if they were to travel to another country to live what would they take. 6y

LaGasseSam1996 UDL 9.2 would work in this because it would be their coping skills and strategies that would help students learn about their own cultures and how to determine what they would bring. 6y

DrSpalding What a cool story to incorporate literature and social studies! 6y

First and only autographed book so far, Love Jamie Lee Curtis 💕 Do you have autographed books? Who were they from?

#booksigning #bookishmoments

Gaylagal2 I do. One from Meg Wolitzer "The Female Persuasion" and James Comey "A Higher Loyalty". And I've had my Michelle Obama "Becoming" pre ordered for a year....can't wait! ? 6y

I‘m on a business trip and staying in my boss‘s house upstate as it‘s halfway before our destination. It feels like I‘m on a family summer vacation, haha. Too bad we have to have meetings all day tomorrow. But it‘s fun to see her daughter‘s bookshelf in the room I‘m staying in! #shelfie

Evelien I also doing a masters in psychology! What your masters about? 8y

Kalalalatja @Evelien in Denmark we don't really have specialized masters, but a more general one, and then you can specialize once you are done with uni. But my interest lie with clinical work and sexual abuse victims. How about you? 😊 8y

Kalalalatja @I-read-and-eat always! I am planning on buying The Tawny Man trilogy to bring with me when I go on vacation at the end of June 👍 8y

Evelien Ow wauw that sounds really interesting but also a difficult and tough group of victims. Right now i'm doing a masters in psychology and law. So helping the police how to interrogate a suspect etc. 7y

Kalalalatja @Evelien That's awesome and so important! 👏 7y
