A cute #MiddleGrade book about a boy named Roan who wants to go to Pilot School but instead ends up at the Jedi Academy. He doesn't know how to use the Force and its a bit Harry Potter but set in a Galaxy Far Far Away.

The Turtle of Oman | Naomi Shihab Nye

pick

Aref and his family is moving from Oman to live in Michigan for three years. Instead of packing, he spends his last week with his grandfather soaking up memories of Muscat. This was my type of book. I learned a great many things of what makes #Oman special - wildlife, customs. It would make a great addition to a #Classroom that embraces all cultures. #BBRC @LibrarianRyan #ReadingAsia @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

Librarybelle I‘ve heard lots of good things about this one! 4y

Last Stop on Market Street | Matt de la Pe�a

pick

This book is about a young boy named CJ and his grandmother as they travel along on a city bus while they meet groups of diverse individuals and wait to reach their final destination, “The Last Stop on Market Street.“ The author's message behind this is to be grateful for the little things in life and for the blessings you do have because there are many people in this world who do not have all the benefits that CJ has in this story.

Emma_Barcena This text's genre is RF. The awards that this book has received are the Newbery Medal, the Caldecott Honor, and the Coretta Scott King Award. This text would best be used as a RA in the classroom alongside this resource where students can utilize these discussion questions to engage in conversation following the RA.

Emma_Barcena The UDL Principles 9.3 & 7.2 regarding relevance and self-reflection along with EL 3 & 11 which encourages self-talk and placing language in meaningful context can be met using this book. #UCFLAE3414su20 (edited) 5y

DrSpalding This is an excellent post Emma. High-quality resource for an award-winning, powerful book. Nice alignment to universal design and English learner strategies that include the verbiage. Very well done. 5y

Charlotte's Web | E. B. White

pick

This modern fantasy book, Charlotte‘s Web by E. B. White, won the Newbery Honor award and would be a great S book. It tells a story about a friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte. Wilbur is a pig in distress due to the fact that he is growing larger and not growing thinner. If he continues, it can lead him to death. That is when Charlotte helps him save his life and becomes the world‘s best pig.

DianaHerrera This link explains many different activities to do with your students such as a class field trip to the local farm/zoo! How fun would that be? The students are to take pictures and write down the sights and sounds of the farm. (edited) 7y

DianaHerrera It says that after the trip they come back and put together a scrap book, but what I think would be best is to do this the following day to print out all of the photos and have the students share one with a friend and do a mini partner project. They can share the things they have learned from the animal they chose with their partner and give them a copy. Together as a class then will come together and make a scrapbook full of memories. 7y

DianaHerrera EL strategies that would include in this activity would be number 16: integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities to guide information and visualization (UDL 3.3). #UCFLAE3414SuB18 7y

DianaHerrera **Edit: I would change the teaching strategy “Storytelling” to “Read Aloud.” I didn‘t know that storytelling meant that it was to memorize the book and tell the story until we did our own during class🙂** (edited) 7y

DrSpalding Definitely read aloud or literature circles. Thank you for the edit! 7y

A Library Story: Building a New Central Library | Jennifer Vogel

Behind #mylocallibrary is a hiking trail that passes by "The Learning Tree", this big Escarpment Live Oak. This would be the Hampton Branch of the Austin Public Library system. ??? #riotgrams #publiclibrary #riotgram #learning #classroom #outdoors #library #locallibrary #tree #trees #treesoflitsy

Suet624 I love this. Recognizing special trees is a wonderful thing. 8y
