DrSpalding A little more information about how you would use the website resource would be helpful but the resources are quality and you have nicely aligned your English learner and universal design principles. 5y

ā€A Bike Like Sergio‘sā€¯ by Maribeth Boelts tells the story of a young boy who wishes he would have a bike just like his friend Sergio. One day, he comes across someone‘s lost money and has to make a very tough decision of what he should do with it. This Charlotte Zolotow Award winning book is a great RF that teaches young children to make the right decisions. This would make a great RA for young elementary students! #UCFLAE3414F19

abbie-cadabbie The lesson plan I chose would be great with this story because it focuses on describing character traits, character feelings, and the authorā€s message and lesson. I will make sure to emphasize the message and how we need to make smart and careful decisions. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/A-Bike-Like-Sergios-by-Maribeth-Boel... 5y

abbie-cadabbie The UDL strategy I‘d use would promote expectations and beliefs that optimize motivation (9.1) I would ask the students to think about what they think the boy will do and what decisions they think he will make while reading. For ESOL, I would reinforce the key ideas I present again and again (15) so my students may catch on to what I am saying due to the amount of times I‘m repeating myself and bringing it up. 5y

DrSpalding I just added this award winner to my stack. I have not seen this and feel it would make for an excellent lesson encompassing important themes students must know. Excellent alignment. 5y

Great story. Zara was fixated on the characters noses and how she didn‘t like the way they were drawn. Ha!

Oh my gosh, this was so cute! It touches on issues kids really need to be introduced to. I feel Segio's mom. :( (16/20)

I'm a fan of this picture book author/illustrator pairing. I loved "Those Shoes" and I love this one too. Both present realistic, challenging situations from the point of view of a child who doesn't have as much money as a friend. Both feature acts of integrity and kindness without being didactic.

The colorful illustrations by Jones are full of emotion, represent a diverse community, and feature people of color.
