Tuesday Tucks Me In: The Loyal Bond between a Soldier and His Service Dog | Luis Carlos Montalván, Bret Witter
post image
Pickpick

This nonfiction book, Tuesday Tucks Me In by Luis Montalván and Bret Witter, won the Best Nonfiction Children‘s Book in 2014 and would be a good LC book. Luis came home after serving for his country and everything that was once a routine scared him, until he met a furry friend named Tuesday. Tuesday gives Luis company during the busy days they have together, but with all of the work comes leisure?? #DogLover #CuteBook

DianaHerrera In their LC groups the students will read the book and list the things that a service dog does in the story (example: picks up items). The students will next list the things a therapy dog does from the story (example: provides comfort). Students will discuss amongst themselves and describe the differences between the two and how it can be paired with people. 6y
DianaHerrera When they are done, they can create a Venn-diagram, which I would recommend instead of listing, to compare and contrast between service and therapy dogs. If the students have extra time, they can draw pictures and decorate their flip chart to be displayed. 6y

DianaHerrera UDL 3.1: Students will use what they know to help compare that to the new information they learn in this activity about service/therapy dogs. EL 30: The instructor will encourage the students to use Venn-diagrams and drawings as aids to identify the differences between service dogs and therapy dogs. #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y

prissy.mooney This sounds like such a cute book! I think it‘d be great to have in any classroom! 6y
Gabylaurel10 This seems like a really good book! You could even have therapy dogs come into class so they can explain why they help so much! 6y
RossoS Sounds like a wonderful book to share with students! This book would be great to show students a non fiction text presented in a different way. I really liked the resource you provided which has students using the text to compare and contrast device dogs vs. therapy dogs. Great choice! 6y
DianaHerrera Thank you everyone! 😊 6y
DrSpalding Your picture is adorable! 3.1 works perfectly as does EL 30. Nice alignment. 6y

The Sandwich Swap | Queen Rania of Jordan Al Abdullah,, Kelly S. DiPucchio
post image
Pickpick

This realistic fiction book, The Sandwich Swap by Queen Rania, won the California Young Readers Medal Nominee for Primary (2013) and would be a great book for students to PR. Lily and Salma are best friends who always eat lunch together at school. Lily eats PB&J sandwiches and Salma eats hummus and pita. Lily couldn‘t help, but say Salma‘s sandwich looked kind of yuck. Salma did not like Lily‘s either… until one day they finally agreed to try it.

DianaHerrera In the link above is a lesson plan that helps students be introduced in diversity and have diverse conversations. Before the students begin to read, they should be reviewed by the vocabulary words they encounter as they read. Next, the students are to go over the predictions they might have just by looking at the cover of the book. 6y
DianaHerrera The students will begin reading and after they read with their shoulder partner they will answer some H.O.T questions. 6y

DianaHerrera UDL 2.1 would be important for this lesson because students are to understand the vocabulary words/symbols for clarification. Using preview activities prior to the reading helps students understand what can happen to the story and help them look forward to the reading; the review activity helps the instructor see if the students have understood the story (EL 13). #UCFLAE3414SuB18 #CuteBook #MustRead (edited) 6y
DrSpalding Your posts are detailed and well written Diana. Keep up the great work! Love the additional hashtags. 6y
Gabylaurel10 This book looks so interesting to teach about cultures! 6y
emilybanne That seems like such a cute book! I love the partner read for this selection. I love the diverse conversations they will have as well. 6y
DrSpalding #MustRead ... I love it! Anything that can assist you in effectively having conversations about the importance of appreciating diversity is a wonderful resource. (edited) 6y
