Without a doubt, this book is vishery strigulating. Be sure to use the bathroom before you read this book. I think I need to bring Captain Quiet with me to work.

What the f—- is going on with Litsy? Seems that I can only post through the website and not through the app. Why can‘t the developers just put out a statement on one of their social media accounts and just say that the app isn‘t working properly?!?! #firstworldproblems

Bklover Me too! It‘s a good thing I checked so I don‘t post everything three times! 1y
TorieStorieS Thanks for sharing about the issues- wish I had seen this before repeating my post! 😵‍💫 1y

DogMomIrene Yesterday my posts took a few minutes to process, but I didn‘t see any of my comments showing up. Even looked like my ❤️s were going back and forth. I was looking to see if I missed an update. 1y

Arlo Draws an Octopus | Lori Mortensen
post image
Pickpick

Cute tale about a child that gets discouraged while trying to draw an octopus. I would like to use this book in my library to talk about writing and drawing and how we focus on what could be or our mistakes instead of what we have accomplished. How we could move across the page from our mistakes and focus on our potential.

Reggie What a great message. 3y

Arlo Draws an Octopus | Lori Mortensen

Not everyone is good at everything. Some people can not catch popcorn, and some can not do cartwheels (that‘s me), and some can not draw octopuses. But art is in the eye of the beholder. And after Arlo makes a friend, he learns to trust and believe in himself. I love how all skin colors are represented in this book. It was a fun read and the illustrator did a great job getting the point across.

Ravi‘s having a bad day. And eventually let‘s out a ROAR.

We‘ve all been there, Ravi.😡🐯. A cute story about anger, temper tantrums and learning to deal with your emotions.

#BBRC bonus #A2Z

...and that‘s almost it! I‘m just waiting for my O book to come in...

rockpools @charl08 Thanks for the tip - These are great! I‘m going to take a look at the others in the series as well 😀 4y

This book is a RF picture book about a young girl and her dog who set out to create the most magnificent thing but the result is not what she had in mind. I believe that this book would best be used in the classroom as an IR.
UDL: Build fluency with graduated levels of support for practice and performance (5.3)

learners will encounter in the new lesson vocabulary to be reviewed

The resource above provides you with plenty of different lesson plans and resources that you can use with in your classroom for your students.

Viviannef Ramzie! I‘ve read this story before and I love your idea of having students read this as an IR to build fluency :) love your resource, I found a pdf page on the website of so many ways to incorporate this book in your class! Great post 4y
DrSpalding National education Association is a quality resource. While independent reading could work, reading aloud the story and facilitating connections would also be wise. 4y

The Rabbit Listened | Cori Doerrfeld

Pickpick

Sometimes hugs say more than words… “The Rabbit Listened” by Cori Doerrfeld is such a great MF book that teaches students about empathy in a moving story. I used this NY Times Best Seller for my S and I‘m excited to use it in my future classroom! It‘s about a boy named Taylor who doesn‘t know who to turn to when something terrible happens. However, someone appears, and it‘s all that Taylor needs… can you guess who it might be? #ucflae3414su20

Viviannef UDL principle 3.2 Highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships. ESOL strategy 17 Provide contextual support through audiovisuals, models, demonstrations, realia, body language and facial expressions. 4y
Viviannef http://www.theclassroombookshelf.com/2018/12/learning-to-listen-with-heart-teach... This website provides amazing resources that teachers may use in their classrooms such as discussion questions to ask students about being empathetic. It also presents a fun activity in which students may work in small groups to reenact a part in the story! 4y
Ameyer32 Such a sweet story that is great for emotional literacy. I love the idea of storytelling with this book and it is sure to get a lot of attention in your future classroom. 4y

CameoD Vivianne, the way you used storytelling to share this book was amazing! I had never heard of this book before, but it will definitely be on the bookshelf in my future classroom :) your pacing and tone of voice was perfect for this book 4y
JoslynB I loved hearing you present this book during class. It was a lovely book that teaches valuable lessons to children of how we feel and handle our own emotions. Sometimes it is best to listen to what someone has to say rather than tell them what they should do to feel better. I plan to purchase this book for my future classroom. 4y
DrSpalding Your peers loved your storytelling! And I enjoy your image showing your sweet stick puppets. Please do use this in internship and your future classroom. 4y

This adorable story follows an ordinary girl and her sidekick through many trial and error attempts at making something extraordinary. The girl tries many times but just can‘t seem to get it right. She then discoverers that each time she failed, she was a little bit closer to achieving success! This is a great book to teach students about mistakes and failure. #UCFLAE3414SP20

Ryan_R Because of how popular this book is, the NEA has come up with multiple lessons that can be used within the class. There are some great ideas in here! 4y
DrSpalding National Education Association is a high-quality resource. What would you use in your future classroom? Excellent book choice that truly allows for creativity! 4y

The Most Magnificent Thing is an SF written by Ashley Spires. It's a cute story about a girl who has this idea to make the most magnificent thing with her dog (and sidekick) but she faces a lot of difficulties getting it just right. She gets frustrated halfway through and gives up, but then gives it another shot. Rachel loved this book, specifically for the dog and the illustrations of him. #UCFLAE3414SP20

Agavitt1 This is a good book for RA and is a good way to encourage and talk about STEM in the classroom for students who want to be inventors like the little girl. http://www.nea.org/tools/lessons/73076.htm This resource provides a lot of different activities to do with this book, specifically the lessons that focus on the growth of mindset I think would be useful because in the story she was about to give up but gave it another chance and succeeded. 4y
Agavitt1 UDL Principle 8.2 Vary demands and resources to optimize challenge: Again, this book is about overcoming a struggle and not giving up, which is a great message for students. So making this clear to students that there will be challenges they face but to persevere is important. 4y
Agavitt1 ESOL Strategy 39. Have students prepare collections of science objects: This is a great book to use before a science fair or a project. It encourages thinking of what their “magnificent thing“ would be while also giving them the encouragement not to give up if it doesn't turn out right the first time. 4y

Rachelleleduc I LOVE this book! I actually used it for my read aloud in Red. It is super cute and funny! I love the resource you included about growing your mindset! Super cool! 4y
Agavitt1 @Rachelleleduc I used it for my Think Aloud as well in RED! :-) 4y
DrSpalding While this would not be considered science fiction… You utilized an excellent resource from the national education Association! Good books and STEAM topics work well together. Your English learner strategy is perfect for this particular book and resource. 4y
