The Umbrella

pick

Gorgeous lush illustrations. Carlos walks into the cloud forest to spot some animals. Leaving his umbrella at the foot of a tree, he climbs up to see what he can see. A tree frog sees the puddle forming in the upturned umbrella, and settles in. Other animals soon find a use for it, and adventure ensues. Spanish words are dotted throughout the book.

mom2bugnbee Anything she writes is absolutely amazing. We had the privilege to meet her years ago on a book tour, & she couldn't have been more engaging & kind with my (then) young girls. 4y

The Umbrella is a RF book written and illustrated by Jan Brett, perfect book for RA in class, especially if your on a topic of animals. The story is about a young boy named Carlos who is excited to see the many different animals in the rainforest. http://www.janbrett.com/mural_umbrella/umbrella_mural.htm the link above is a fun activity from Jan Brett website, it shows the variety of animals and Carlos in a PDF page. Teachers can print the pages

SierraC And students will color the images, they can be as creative as they want! My ESOL strategies are 2 and 4, I want my students to work in small groups and discuss the animals. My UDL strategy is 1.2 and 1.3 students will see the animals from the book but Instead I can show them in a the computer and a video. They can hear the noises the animals make! 6y

DrSpalding This is not realistic fiction. It can be classified as a traditional literature variant or fantasy. Creativity with arts integration is a must in your classroom. 6y

The Umbrella is New York Times Children‘s Picture Book Bestseller List winner. It‘s a low fantasy picture book. Carlos goes into the cloud forest to go see the many different animals and leaves behind his umbrella as he climbs a tree. The animals jump in and go on an adventure. I think this book would be great addition to your classroom library. I would use this book as either a DR or a RT.

Gabylaurel10 http://www.janbrett.com/the_umbrella_play.htm This books lines up perfectly with UDL principles of 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 of offering different ways to display auditory and visual information, especially if doing an RT. Since there is some Spanish in the book giving the Spanish speaking character to an Hispanic ESOL students will help them feel comfortable reading aloud along with ESOL strategy 4 of linking prior knowledge! #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y

DrSpalding Technically this is traditional literature. This is Brett‘s version of the mitten but set in the Amazon rain forest. Having books with Spanish words embedded much like the Skippy books, are beneficial to your classroom library. 6y
