Star in the Jar | 
After reading Star in the Jar, students can create their own “star“ by decorating a paper cutout. They will write about something special they love and might struggle to let go of, just like the boy in the story. Then, students will share how letting go can sometimes lead to something beautiful, like the star returning to the sky.
pickIn Star in the Jar, a little boy finds a lost star and decides to keep it, carrying it with him everywhere. But when the sky calls for its missing star, he and his sister must figure out how to return it, even if it means saying goodbye.
Great F, picture book. My daughter loves this story and especially enjoys the characters many attempts to return the star. Would use for shared reading. Pre teach vocab for EL students. UDL-clarify vocabulary and sybols. https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/supporting-esl-students-mainstream-classroom/ #Lae3414sp19
