All Families Are Special

pick

Wow! This book is amazing. This is definitely one you want to sit down with your students and read. “All Families Are Special“ is a great RA for your students. This book discusses all different types of families, and it presents it in a way that shows it's okay to not have just a mom, dad, and sibling at home. Families are what you make it. Norma Simon makes a point to explain that no matter who's at home, they love you and it's your family.

MFlowers The following url will lead you to a lesson plan that perfectly matches the author's intentions for the book: https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/5812
In this lesson plan, students are to focus on a specific topic, their families, and to respond to questions from peers. I think this would be a great way to open up conversation about families and the differences between each students'. 3y

MFlowers This aligns with EL strategy 3 (encourage self-talk) & 16 (integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities). Your EL students should be encourage to talk about their home life and their own cultures! The UDL principles that apply here are 8.3 (foster collaboration and community). #ucflae3414sp21 (edited) 3y

DrSpalding In first and second grade, there are social studies standards related to families. This would be a wonderful read aloud during that unit. The message is positive and reiterates the fact that all families are different. Nice resource and you continue to align English learner and universal design principles well. 3y
