Welcome to Litsy!

#WordsOfOctober Day 1: This story provides a sensitive portrayal of what it must be like walking in the new girl, Farah‘s skin without attempting to provide a utopian quick fix but a simple #apple in one‘s hand offered in a gesture of welcome and the promise of friendship. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9TS

Farah, a Muslim immigrant finds it difficult to make friends and be accepted. One Green Apple, a RF book written shortly after the 911 attacks has an impactful message of tolerance and acceptance and should be in our classrooms. Great for RA OR S. ESOL Strategies 3 & 4 encourage positive thinking and self talk and linking to students‘ prior knowledge are covered in this book. #LAE3414sp19. UDL principles 8.3,2.1,2.4,3.1 fostering collaboration

#ThisRemindsMeOf... 🍏- this is my absolute favourite place, hands down, in San Francisco. I must have visited the city around four times now, and I always always make a pilgrimage to this place. And yes, the tagged picturebook is lovely too.
