Whoever You Are | Mem Fox, Leslie Staub

This RF picturebook teaches readers about accepting diversity and how similar we are. This is a great book to RA! One UDL & EL strategy is 9.3, develop self-assessment and motivation, and 3, encourage self talk (positive thinking). This link provides excellent extension activities using this book: http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/moving-toward-acc... #UCFLAE3414SP20

SequoiaC123 You could also teach about diversity, acceptance (of self and others), and culture and even make connections with the students‘ cultures like the flag activity we saw in SSE 3112! (edited) 5y

Keishla.O I love the theme of this book. Sometimes it‘s hard for children to see that we are all not so different from each other. This book would be a great demonstration that we‘re all similar in different ways. Thank you for sharing! I‘ll have to get myself a copy. 5y

DrSpalding You are connecting both classes together with books, literacy and social studies! This is so impressive. Nice job including the requirements of the rubric and of course selecting a quality diverse piece of children‘s literature.❤️📚 5y

KatiaP I like how you can use this story to help with diversity, that is an important lesson to teach kids. Good idea to add the flag activity to it! Would love to take a look at this book! 5y

The Woman Warrior: China Men | Maxine Hong Kingston

This is my stats for all the books I own at my house.
How many I have read.
How many pages I have read.
Top author's.
Top genre's.
I need to work on my own collection of books more as I'm leaving for university next year and would like to only use the library and my kindle it would save a lot of money as I won't be working so much.

Miss Sara Sampson | Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

(I love that I can finally take pictures of my two most favourite things in the world together- books and cats)
Miss Sara Sampson is one of the three books I have to read for my German studies this semester. It‘s the first German middle class story with a tragic ending.

So today I graduated with my Master of Science in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy. Took a lot of effort and I probably wouldn‘t have survived if it wasn‘t for Litsy and all the reading I did to keep my mind sane. So being the nerd that I am, I wore the time turner to graduation and was gifted this Erlenmeyer flask from my department. Happy to see what the next step is!

Schnoebs @julesG thanks for reminding me what it actually was 😂 with everything going on I couldn‘t remember the name and I‘m just like, let‘s go with beaker lol 6y

julesG I'm contemplating getting two smaller ones for my kids. Incidentally, when my son read Artemis lately he chuckled at a scene where a scientist has several beakers with acids on his workbench right next to his coffee mug, always blindly grabbing his mug. The MC wonders whether he'll grasp an acid beaker one day. Anyway, told my son that I used to have my tea in an Erlenmeyer flask to avoid confusion - he was at awe, because I was ignorant of the 6y

julesG Ground rule in the lab: no food or drinks. I only did it in inorganic and physical chemistry sessions, never in organic 😸😸😸 6y

Schnoebs @julesG I‘m pretty sure that‘s the best chemistry story I‘ve ever heard 😂😍😂😍 6y

Schnoebs Thank you everyone for the well wishes ☺️ @hermyknee @BarbaraTheBibliophage @ElishaLovesBooks @MeganAnn @Gezemice @BarbaraJean @cobwebmoth @julesG @Fridameetslucy @Birdsong28 @mreads 6y

Machines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground Between Humans and Robots | John Markoff

Avoiding my other schoolwork responsibilities by reading this book for class.... 🤷‍♀️ I‘m still technically doing homework right?

#audiobook #scribd #requiredreading #assignedreading #gradlife #student #umn #mpls #twincities

wanderinglynn That‘s a lot of tabs! 😂 what is the class you‘re reading it for? 6y

Schnoebs @wanderinglynn It‘s a current issues in science, technology and environmental policy course. I have a to write a summary on my thoughts of it at the end of each book. I have a tendency of highlighting a lot in the scientific articles I read but I just can‘t do that with books so I tab them lol 6y

wanderinglynn Ah, I understand. I have problems marking up books too. But the class sounds interesting. I‘m an environmental attorney, so dealing with environmental policy is a part of my job. And of course, there are huge overlaps with science & tech. 👍🏻 6y

Schnoebs @wanderinglynn that‘s so interesting!!! Is there a specific focus you have??? I‘m currently working on research on equity and affordability concerns for access to drinking water. 6y

wanderinglynn I work for the US government (currently the Dept of the Navy). So my focus has been mostly on water and one hot topic is PFAS, which among other things is found in firefighting foam. It‘s not currently a listed toxin with the EPA, but many states are looking into it. 6y

wanderinglynn The PFAS chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body—meaning they don‘t break down and they can accumulate over time. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. So the Navy is trying to get ahead of state regulation & develop policy on the use & potential cleanup of PFAS. 6y

Schnoebs @wanderinglynn so are you guys focused primarily on just looking into potential levels in regulations or are you guys also looking into alternative sources that can be used for the foam? 6y

wanderinglynn Both. 6y

Finally made it through this book! Super happy I pushed through because it really made me think about the types of calculations I want to conduct for my professional paper for grad school. Makes you also really appreciate high quality data sets.
