Welcome to Litsy!

My Busytown book bag has passed the rigorous Kitty Inspection Process and is all ready for read-alouds Tuesday morning! After a busy several days (family and friends visiting from across the country for my spouse's 50th, an early-morning emergency room visit for my father-in-law (he's doing well now, thankfully), and an earthquake), I feel ready to be back in the classroom with the preschoolers reading about animals.

Step Gently Out by Helen Frost illustrated by Rick Lieder is a Poetry PB that is about nature and insects but includes amazing photographs throughout! It would be an awesome CR or IR in a 2nd grade classroom. ESOL: 14 simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant. UDL: 3.2 highlight patterns , critical features, big ideas, and relationships.
