You can do your part to fight fly hunger by leaving your sandwiches, ice cream cones, and candying lying around!

This was a fun book that taught me some new facts I truly did not know about flies! This would be a fun book to include in a science unit about different animals and insects. I like that it‘s not just another book about butterflies, which are typically what are shared with students.

Told from the perspective of a fly, this book talks about flies and how awesome they can be. It is informational and tells about the lifecycle of a fly and different characteristics of flies. Being told through the flies perspective puts a fun spin on it and makes it very kid friendly and engaging.

This book made me laugh and it also kept me informed. This will be a fun read for students as they learn about flies and their purpose, and that they aren‘t actually that bad! As a student teacher it would be a fun activity to show the students this book during a science lesson.

Emma_Barcena The genre is NF. This book has not received any awards. This book would be good to use in a SR. This is a good resource to use to provide information to students about flies and to play some fun games.

Emma_Barcena The UDL Principles 7.2 & 3.4 can be used to optimize relevance, value and authenticity and to maximize transfer and generalization. The EL Principles 32 & 37 can be used by using student pairs for team learning and by using language experience techniques in discussing concepts and ideas. #UCFLAE3414su20 (edited) 4y

DrSpalding Reading is fundamental is a quality resource. This of course would make a good shared reading option when teaching science concepts. 4y

Current situation.

Really enjoying this modern retelling of DIRTY DANCING so far! And kiddo enjoys throwing all of his bath toys out of the (dry) tub, then throwing them back into the tub, then climbing back into the tub to start the whole process over again! A pleasant Monday morning all around.

(Fwiw, he does name every letter/number out loud before he yeets it ;)

I, Fly, written by Bridget Heos and illustrated by Jennifer Plecas, is a (NF) book about flies! As someone who HATES flies and bugs in general, I was hesitant to read it. However, reading about cool facts about flies in a cool way, it may have changed my mind little bit.

WoodsKatie I hope, paired with a science lesson, it may interest students as well! This would be great in a class of 3rd to 6th graders. It would be a great RA and then used in a lesson. The book also satisfies UDL guidelines 6.1 and 1.3 as well as ESOL strategies 1 and 8. A lesson I found had lesson plans as well as interviews and additional information about the book. https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?a=1&tid=44391 #LAE3414sp19 5y

Reading Essentials: The Specifics You Need to Teach Reading Well | Regie Routman

The hate that people load onto Amazon is getting old. I understand why one would avoid using them, but their prices are so much better. There shouldn‘t be shamming of where people buy their books, but an embrace of people reading. It shouldn‘t matter where one buys ones book or if they get them from the library, it should matter more if they are reading at all

melissajayne I understand the concerns that people have about Amazon and other bookstores like ChapterIndigo or B&N or Waterstones, but when your only choice is one of those options to purchase books from, you have to go with those you options. I would like to have a store like Munro‘s in Victoria, BC but I don‘t. (edited) 5y

melissajayne The most important thing is that people are reading. I don‘t care about the format either 5y

melissajayne People are just too damn sensitive as a person‘s reading behaviours. 5y

ShyBookOwl I agree. The world is changing and that means the way we access books is changing too. Key here, we're still reading! So much, in fact, that we need accessible, affordable options. I'm buying books. All the time. Usually from Amazon. 5y

Birdsong28 In my town we have a small Waterstones or the Supermarket for new releases, there is a bargain book store but it takes awhile for them to get new releases, so if I can't find it in the 2 main options mentioned I have to go to Amazon. I also have a kindle so I have to get my ebooks from Amazon and I love using Audible which is an Amazon company for my audiobooks. I guess some people don't like using big corporations. But I agree with your sentiment 5y

rretzler Agreed. 5y

melissajayne @Birdsong28 and most people who say these things usually live in more urban environments that have such things. If you live in a suburb or smaller community your options are limited. I would to have an independent book store in my suburban town, but I don‘t. 5y
