This National Bestseller book written by Katherine Arden was an awesome read. It takes place in Russian Wilderness in the middle of winter. This story is about a young girl named Vasilisa who must dig deep and bring about dangerous gifts that she had kept hidden to keep her village safe from evil. I think this would be a great book for a literature circle in a 5th grade or middle school classroom. #ucflae3414f19

kradebaugh UDL 3.1 Activate and supply background knowledge and 2.1 Clarify vocabulary and symbols. ESOL I would break the text down and associate pictures with words and pair with a partner 5y
haleyklein This looks like a really good read, thank you for sharing! 5y

Giver | Lois Lowry

This science fiction book written by Lois Lowry was a Newbery award winner. the book is about a young boy named Jonas living in a dystopian society where there is no pain and everyone is assigned a role. Jonas, at his thirteenth birthday, is given the honor of becoming the next receiver of memory and begins to uncover the truth about his society. I think this book would be good for a literature circle or a read aloud. #ucflae3414f19

Tinks I have heard about this book and was told it was a must read. Will definitely look into it. It reminds me of the hunger games. 5y
DrSpalding Resource? This is a quartet, or a series with four books that all are fantastic! These could be used in the upper elementary grades and of course in middle school. 5y

A Wrinkle in Time is a Science Fiction book written by Madeleine L'Engle. This book has won the John Newberry Medal, the Sequoyah Book Award, the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and was runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. This book is about a young girl named Meg, her brother and their friend and their adventures through time. I loved this book and think any young reader will too. #ucflae3414f19

haleyklein Once again such a great book! Thank you for the share! 5y
ChrisC I actually started reading this book not to long ago. It‘s definitely an interesting read. 5y
DrSpalding Resource? This book could work well for literature circles or even a read aloud. Science-fiction tends to be a bit more difficult to comprehend and needs the knowledgeable educator to facilitate understanding. 5y

This is a biography on our first President George Washington written by Laurie Calkhoven. I think this book would be great for any history class. This book gives you insights to how he helped to win Americas freedom, but it also talks about how he was not always the military guy. He was a quiet peaceful farmer. #ucflae3414F19

KristenScala I love biography books and I think they‘re a great asset to a classroom library especially since students should learn about people of our past! 5y
DrSpalding Of course, this biography would work quite well during a unit on the presidents during your social studies instruction. 5y

This Biography written by Emma Carlson Berne is a look into the life and story of Helen Keller. I think this is a great book to have in any classroom. Helen Keller showed that no matter what obstacles you face if you try hard enough you can over come them. She also showed us that you do not have to be able to hear and see to find the beauty in life. #ucflae3414f19

DrSpalding Again, biographies and their use in the elementary classroom is very important. English learner strategy 28 actually asks for teachers to provide biographies. 5y

This piece of Non-fiction I have owned for more than half my life. Written by Catherine Clinton. It gives all this historical facts that anyone could ever want to know about the Civil War. This would be a great book to use in a history class. It breaks down the entire conflict from beginning to end by the year. I feel this is must need for any classroom in upper grade levels. #ucflae3414f19

DrSpalding I agree that this could be a helpful resource in your intermediate grades. How wonderful you have owned this book for so long and it can become a part of your classroom library. Helping to supply background knowledge regarding the Civil War would be a wise use of this text! 5y

Ponies | Laura Marsh
post image
Pickpick

This a nonfiction book by Laura Marsh. This would be a great book for science this would a book that I would use as a read aloud and break the book down into pieces so that the information could be easily learned. This book talks about the differences between ponies and horses. It talks about how there are many breeds, colors and location of ponies, it even gives a historical background on ponies. #ucflae3414f19

kradebaugh The UDLs that I chose are 2.1 To Clarify vocabulary and symbols and 4.1 vary the methods for response and navigation. ESOL strategies 15 reinforcing key ideas, and 18 use commands and directions that involve over student actions. 5y
haleyklein I love the scholastics books! Awesome choice! 5y

This Newberry Honor book by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. I have to admit made me cry at first. This is a historical fiction book is set in the onset of World War II and the main character Ada is truly struggling she has a physical disability and she being horribly abused by her mother but thanks to the War she able to escape her mother. This story is a how little girl survived and was able to make a difference. #ucflae3414f19

kradebaugh For my UDL's I chose 2.2 clarify syntax and structure and 3.1 activate or supply background knowledge. For ESOL I would monitor comprehension and check with questions, I would also simplify text if needed 5y

DrSpalding That‘s a first to see my image behind the book! I think you won this in class… Am I right? If the book evoked that kind of emotion it is worthy of being incorporated into your classroom library and used during social studies instruction! 5y

Little Women (Kobo) | Louisa May Alcott

This classic is one of my most favorite books. Written by Louisa May Alcott. It takes place during one of my favorite periods in American history. It is a story of sisterhood, romance, and heartache. Its a story that pulls you in as you follow the sisters Amy, Jo, Meg and Beth as they experience life and death. I think this book would be great as a read aloud or a literature circle. #ucflae3414f19

This classic story written by Mark Twain is a story of that we have grown up hearing. A boy who is starving for adventure who doesn't always follow the rules. I think this would be a great book for a read aloud. I think this book touches our adventurous side and lets into a view of history. This book has been created into movies and has been read for generations. #ucflae3414f19

DrSpalding This is another classic! Look for a valuable resource. Just because it was written quite a long time ago does not mean that there are not lessons and ideas to assist you with implementing the story in the classroom. 5y

This classic story of a little girl who looses her parents and has to change her whole by going to live with her uncle is a story that I hold near and dear to my hear as it was a book my grandmother read to me when I was a little girl and I now read to my daughter. Its a book that would be great for read aloud or a literature circle. This version was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett and I llustrated by Tasha Tudor. #ucflae3414f19

This book written by Laurel Snyder and Illustrated by Emily Hughes is a winner of the Theodore Seuss Geisel award. This was a fun book to read. About two brothers. I think they find a way to have fun with life. I like the part where they interact with the grandpa the best. I encourage you to read this book. I think it would be a great read for 1st through 3rd grade. Defiantly glad I added it to my library. #ucflae3414f19

kradebaugh The UDL's I chose are 2.2 Clarify syntax and structure and 4.1 Vary the methods for response and navigation. For ESOL Continually monitor students' comprehension and teach question for clarification. 5y
YesseniaN This sounds like a great read, I would probably have the students read it in partners and have them discuss the sequence of the book! thanks for sharing it. 5y
DrSpalding Minor errors and missing some information. The front cover is enticing and of course being a Geisel award winner, you know it should be in your primary grade classroom library. 5y

This is one of my favorite books to read to my kids. Written by Sam McBratney illustrated by Anita Jeram and became a tv series. This adorably cute book is about a parent and their child who talk about how much they love each other. This is a book I think could be read to any grade level but I think would be greatly loved by kindergarten through 2nd grade. I think this teaches kids that there is end to someones love.#ucflae3414f19

This is cute fantasy book by Audrey Penn and Illustrated by Barbara Leonard Gibson. I love this book and I think it would be a great add to any library where kids are involved. I read this book to my kids at home but I also read this book to my high school students. I think that this book helps to teach children that just because an adult shows affection to someone else doesn't mean they do not care about us. #ucflae3414f19

The Crossover | Kwame Alexander

This book is a cross between realistic fiction and poetry. This book by Kwame Alexander is a 2015 Newberry Medal Winner and 2015 Coretta Scott King Honor Award Winner. I think this book is one that I would use on a 5th to 8th grade level.
I think it is better read as an individual. The story is told by a boy who has to face life on and off the court and discovers that life can take you places you never wanted to go. #ucflae3414f19

kradebaugh The UDL's that I chose were 2.1 Clarify vocabulary and symbols and 4.1 vary the methods for response and navigation. ESOL. Continually monitor students' comprehension and Use preview/review activitites. 5y
ChrisC I read this book as well. It‘s a good read and a very interesting story. 5y

I truly liked this book by Katherine Applegate. I think this book is great for literature circles. It was an easy read. I will say that it was easy to predict what would happen but it also made you want to continue reading it so that you could see if you were right in your predictions. I think this book touched on a delicate subject of not accepting someone because of something someone else did. #ucflae3414f19

kradebaugh The UDL's I chose are 2.1 Clarify vocabulary and symbols and 3.1 Activate or supply background knowledge. ESOL Teach questioning for clarification and Use preview and review activities. 5y

Waiting | Kevin Henkes

This fantasy fiction book by Kevin Henkes was a Theodore Suess Giles Honor Book and Caldacott Honor. I think this book would be great for kindergarten or 1st grade. I think that it teaches kids that if you want something sometimes you have to wait for it to happen. I feel like this book also teaches kids not to judge someone by their outside appearances because you never know what is going on with them on the inside. #ucflae3414f19

kradebaugh https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/5735. The UDL's I chose were 2.1 Clarify vocabulary and symbols and 1.3 Other alternatives for visual information.

The book of poetry by Margarita Engle. Was sometimes hard to follow. I would choose this book for upper grade levels 5th to 7th grade. It spoke of young girl who was living life during the war in Cuba in the time of Teddy Roosevelt. It talks about her hard times and suffering. It comes in both English and Spanish. #ucflae3414f19

This realistic fiction book is a Newberry Honorwritten by Kate DiCamillo . This was a fun and exciting book to read. Full of adventure and mystery. Who wouldn't love a book about a little girl and her dog. I loved this book because it showed how people who are so different can come together to make a family.

DrSpalding This book is full of adventure! It is currently being used in seminal County as a quality piece of literature in fourth grade. I believe they use it for approximately four weeks and integrate all of the language arts. All of this author‘s books should be considerations for your classroom library. 5y
