Sembrando historias: Pura Belpre: bibliotecaria y narradora de cuentos: Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpre (Spanish edition) | Anika Aldamuy Denise

pick

Sembrando Historias, Pura Belpre: Bibliotecaria y Narradora de cuentos by Anika Aldamuy Denise and illustrated by Paola Escobar is a B-RA/PR/AS/IR picture book about the life and contributions of Pura Belpre. While there is an English version of this book, I think it is beneficial for teachers to also have Spanish versions for their ESOL students. #UCFLAE3414SP21

melodyp This book is a Pura Belpre honor book, as well as silver medalist of the Children‘s Book Committee‘s Best Spanish Language Picture Books of the Year Award.
UDL 2.4 (promote understanding across languages) and EL 24 (incorporate the culture and language of second language learners in your curriculum) are excellent strategies to use when teaching this book.
The website https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=66246#Resources has great resources. 4y

PatriciaS This wonderful book is a great addition to any classroom library 😊 I am adding it to my list. Thank you for your review 👍 and another resource to add for ELL students too. 4y

DrSpalding Teaching books is a good resource. Your English learner strategy is spot on. Children need to learn from picture book biographies! English learner 28 works well with all biographies that we expose students to at the elementary level. 4y

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise | Dan Gemeinhart

pick

*The remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise* By Dan Gemeinhart. This MF book is one of this year‘s Newbery Award winner! This is a great LC book to engage students in thoughtful discussions about the events taking place. The story is about a young girl named Coyote who lives on a bus with her father. She gets some news that changes everything, and is determined to head back home. To find out how her journey ends, you‘re going to have to read it!

Viviannef UDL principle 8.3 Foster collaboration and community and ESOL strategy 16 Integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities. This is a great principle and strategy to use when students are working in groups and discussing/sharing their ideas about the book. 4y

Viviannef https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=61834#Resources – This website provides great ways to use this book in the classroom recalling the events that took place in the story. It also provides resources about the author and sample pages to use in the classroom regarding a written story map activity. #ucflae3414su20 4y

DrSpalding Oops… While it seems somewhat fictitious or fanciful, this is not modern fantasy. This is realistic fiction. This book is a true mirror and window for children. Use this as a literature circle option in the future and the many resources that come along with it. 4y

Cry Heart, But Never Break | Glen Ringtved

pick

This book would be good for RA or SR. It is about kids whose grandmother is dying and they make a deal to keep death away. But death comes anyway and tells them a story to help them understand death. This is a good book to help kids process and understand loss of life and that death is natural. It is a modern fantasy book. It won a Batchelder award. Resource: https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=50684#Resources
I would use UDL guideline 3.2...

annalor Because the main idea of death being natural and okay is the most important part of the book. I would use ESOL strategy 16 because I think multiple ways of processing this book would be beneficial to students. 5y

Jennymmm This is and important theme to teach children. 5y

Zelymarie.R This book is a good resource for dealing with the lost of special person on the students life. Great resources too. I like your summary! Keep doing a great job! 5y

Ashley_B Wow, this book seems like it has such a deep meaning! 5y

The Girl Who Drank the Moon | Kelly Barnhill

pick

This book was a great read for me. I enjoy every minute. It is a F book and won the Newberry Award. This book would be a great LC or IR. This book is about how a world lives in fear of the witch which takes a baby once a year to keep from coming after the rest of the town. Well the last baby she takes is enmagic and becomes a major part in the book. Read to find out more.

AlyssaB The ESOL strategy would be 23 which structures advance organizers consisting of new terminology that students will encounter. An UDL strategy would be 2.1 which clarifies symbols and vocabulary. A online resource to use would be https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=51541#Resources which provides a whole list of different lessons to use throughout the book. #UCFLAE3414F19 5y

Mwinship After hearing about the review from the LC in class I am interested to read this story. Also it seems like a great LC choice! 5y

KevinKantola nice book seems like a good read! 👍 5y

KristenScala Hi Alyssa! After listening to you all talk about this book in class and reading your post I am really looking forward reading this book! 5y

Camrynm Nice book!! This would be a great book for an elementary class. 5y

JennaMichelleCohn Fantastic book! Your ESOL and UDL strategies go really well, as this is a very vocabulary rich piece. 5y

GroeningsC great post! Your summary was slightly confusing but an overall great post! 5y

leximcmillin Hearing you and your LC group talking about this book in class makes me really want to read it! I am very interested in this book and while it seems like a great LC book, I would like to use it as an IR. (edited) 5y

YesseniaN This book looks amazing to read in class for the fall season! I think it would be very important to go over vocabulary with esol students 5y

haleyklein I really can‘t wait to hopefully start this book soon!! Thank you for your input! 5y

ccipriati I really want to start reading this book!! I'm going to go get it and read it! 5y

DrSpalding Minor errors. I am thrilled you enjoyed this book. Your group selected an excellent book full of fantasy and topics of discussion. Use this as a possible literature circle option in your own classroom. 5y

Thank You, Omu! | Oge Mora

pick

Written by the amazing Oge Mora, Thank You, Omu! is a Caldecott and Coretta Scott King award winning exemplary book on community and selflessness. It‘s a must have in the K-3 classroom libraries to teach children the value of helping others and kindness. This RF work of art is perfect for PR and having your students reflect on the story.

karlasanabria1 #UCFLAE3414F19 The link below provides multiple teaching aids when covering this book during your lesson and how to prepare for your overall Thank You Omu! lesson plan. https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=60275#Resources 5y

karlasanabria1 The UDL Guideline I‘ve chosen for this particular book, based on the teaching strategy I chose is developing self-assessment and reflection (9.3). While the best ESOL Strategy I‘ve chosen is teaching think, pair, and share strategy with another native speaking cooperative classmate (10). 5y

So cool! https://www.boredpanda.com/street-art-utrecht-apartment-building-transformed-int...

rretzler I immediately honed in on the tagged book. It is a series that came out long ago that has been updated through the years. It is 12 books that are supposed to grow with a child as each volume contains age appropriate stories! While growing up, my family had an edition from the 40s when my mother and aunt were growing up and I purchased a more recent set for my kids. What a great memory for me! Thanks for tagging it! 😄 5y

Jilly6183 @rretzler I had no idea. It sounds like a really great series, I'll have to check it out! 5y

rretzler It‘s a lot of classic old stories, so if you can‘t find them - they have been out of print for some time, I‘m sure you‘ve probably read many of the stories already. Mother Goose, Shakespeare, The Water Babies, Robert Louis Stevenson, Wordsworth, Hans Christian Andersen, The Adventures of Baron Münchhausen, The City Mouse and the Country Mouse, Edward Lear and many, many more stories, poems and fables like that. 5y

Resource of the day - this is a great way to engage the more active/outdoorsy types, in an English classroom. Gets them reading and also provides great discussion points around what makes a good infographic and how to write thorough instructions (the book does not always succeed at this) #resources #teacherlife #engagement

I know that a lot of you lovely people read literary magazines. I really want to try some and I‘d really like to hear your favourites?!
Or any quirky cool magazines that you guys are into please?

SharonGoforth I love Lapham‘s Quarterly, World Literature Today, Tin House, Paris Review, Antioch Review, Kenyon Review, and Poetry Magazine. There are so many!! Barnes & Noble always has a good selection. 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth thankyou! Unfortunately Barnes and noble isn‘t really a thing where I am in the uk but I will see if I can find any of them here easily. This is exactly the sort of suggestions I want 6y

SharonGoforth @Weaponxgirl Oh, I‘m sorry! I know you can get subscriptions, plus they also have online subscriptions, too. My favorite is Lapham‘s Quarterly. Each month has a theme, and they use essays, poetry, fragments from literature from ancient to modern to build on that theme. The artwork and layout is absolutely stunning. When I saw it, I had to subscribe! I know there are many more magazines that cover different genres. Good luck! 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth don‘t apologise! We have a newsagents chain here called WHSmith and they often have a good selection of magazines in, including international ones so I‘m excited to go in with some idea of what I‘m actually looking for! There‘s so many now that having a idea of what others love will be a bit kinder on my budget 😉 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth we had a borders here briefly and I do miss having a bookshop with a huge magazine section inside it. 6y

mreads I second Tin House and I also like Two Lines Press and Ploughshares. I got them as subscriptions but I am in the US so not sure about UK availability. 6y

SharonGoforth @Weaponxgirl I miss Borders, too! 6y

Weaponxgirl @mreads thanks, honestly the more titles the better. If I can‘t get them easily I‘ll just have to live vicariously through Litsy users 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth we now in the uk only really have @Waterstones as the only purely dedicated to books chains. But unfortunately they aren‘t paying staff a living wage. 6y

SharonGoforth @Weaponxgirl That‘s truly unfortunate 😔 6y

SharonGoforth @mreads I just checked out Two Line Press online, and it looks great! Thanks for the suggestion! 6y

Emilymdxn The Times Literary Supplement just released a really awesome issue celebrating shared European literary heritage and connection which I‘m in love with reading atm 6y

Graywacke I have phases where I check these out. It‘s been a while, but in last one I really enjoyed Granta, The Paris Review and Poetry. These are all American publications, not sure how available in the UK - although Poetry is almost entirely available for free online - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine And they have a free podcast, recommended. 6y

SW-T I look at Poets, and Poets & Writers occasionally but not sure if they‘re international. 6y

Weaponxgirl @Emilymdxn I forgot about them! I stopped reading the times as they were part of the murdoch empire but I can probably find it for free somewhere. I‘ll try my library thanks! 6y

Weaponxgirl @Graywacke thankyou! I know at least a couple of those are international 😊 6y

Weaponxgirl @SW-T I‘ll have a look! 😁 6y
