Welcome to Litsy!

I was cleaning out my camera roll when I came across this and realized I forgot to do it. 😅
1. In A Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories. I discovered it in summer school between 1st-2nd grade. I reread it nearly any time we had free reading.
2. Have my OG copy.
3. I wish like crazy I had read Anne of Green Gables as a young girl instead of an adult.
Not tagging anyone else since I‘m several days late already. 😂🤣😂

“If a fellow is patient, he might get his wish! And that's why I think That i'm not such a fool When I sit here and fish In Mcelligot's Pool!“

Winner of the Caldecott Medal. A story that first started out as a regular day fishing, turned to be a fun imagination to make things more interesting. The plot gave a great and detailed story line which added to the overall essence of the theme. When things look rough, never give up because you never will know of the great possibilities out there for you.

My favorite part was when he was talking about the different types of fish that could be down there in the pool. Cute story line that talked about imagining the different possibilities the pond could be reaching out to in the world.

“If such a thing could be, They certainly would be!“

The pictures are fun and I love the rhyming structure that Seuss uses to make it almost song-like for the teacher to read and for the students to follow!

McElligot's Pool is a book by Dr, Seuss, This book is a Caldecott winner. I really liked the illustrations in the book because I think that it helps draw children in when the book is nice and colorful. I also really loved the plot, because it helps push the message that you never know what is out there until you try it for yourself! I think this is a really fun book that teaches a good lesson through a fun and cute story.

This F PB by Dr.Seuss is a Caldecott award winning book and would make a great AS for students. This book teaches students to not give up and to always stick with your ideas even if people doubt you. The UDL guideline that I would use is 9.1 by setting expectations for students before they begin working on their author study with Dr. Seuss. I would also use the ESOL Strategy 6, to make sure students are comprehending while completing the author
