My Great-Aunt Arizona
My Great-Aunt Arizona | Gloria Houston
5 posts | 5 read
Arizona was born in a log cabin her papa built. She grew into a tall girl who liked to sing, square-dance, and -- most of all -- read and dream of the faraway places she would visit one day. Arizona never did make it to those places. Instead she became a teacher, helping generations of children in the one-room schoolhouse which she herself had attended. Gloria Houston's Joyous recounting of her great-aunt Arizona's quiet yet meaningful life reminds us of the magical place a special teacher can hold in our hearts.

My great-aunt arizona

This HF picture book was an adorable addition to my library. The main character, Arizona, was a thoughtful teacher who taught inside of a small schoolhouse for generations instead of traveling the world. I would love to use this book as a RA to a class.

MarinaForsythe https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/My-Great-Aunt-Arizona-Reading-Respon... is a great resource activity to go along with this book because it goes over vocabulary, the beginning middle and end, and comparing and contrasting. UDL strategy 6.3, Facilitate managing information and resources, and EL strategy 7 go well with this activity. #ucflae3414f14 7y
DrSpalding I'm thrilled you read this book. It is a sweet story about a real teacher. I make text to text connections with Little House on the Prairie books. 7y

This is a Biography about the author, Gloria Houston's great aunt Arizona. It describes her life as a child and when she grew up to be a teacher and how many lives she touch doing what she loves. I hope to touch many lives as a teacher as well and I hope I become the teacher a child never forgets! This is the author's website where you can find more information on Houston and more books she has written http://www.gloriahouston.com #ucflae3414sp17
