This SF book can keep anyone on the edge of their seats and make them want to keep reading. The best thing about it is it has a series and movies to go along with it! This would be a goo book for lit circles. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.brighthubeducation.com/middle-school-english-le... #ucflae3414su17

Loved this B book! Hearing my peers read this book was motivational and gives you so much insight just how far women in the country have came to be so powerful and make a huge difference. This would be great to use during women history month. This activity could be used to encourage other girls (also boys) on how they will make a difference. #ucflae3414su17 http://www.booknerdmommy.com/persisted-mini-biography-activity-idea/

LOVED this RF. I always tend to pick books with children in disabilities so I will hopefully be able to connect with them when I begin teaching. This book would also be a great lit book like we did. #ucflae3414su17 http://sharondraper.com/bookdetail.asp?id=35

I loved this TL book when I read it in elementary school and loved reading it today. No surprise this ones a Newbery winner! This class story of a girl in her pig will have you in tears. This quick activity would be perfect during center time or after you read a quick chapter. http://pin.it/p5S_-BN #ucflae3414su17

This NF book builds suspense by only showing you a nose, tail, ears and so on and then tells you what animal it is and their special characteristic. The end of the book even tells you more about the animals. This audio has a bearded dragon with you reading! https://youtu.be/kRVA9NlHyss #ucflae3414su17

This classic P book by Dr. Seuss himself is so fun to read and kids usually catch on pretty quick and begin reading it themselves! Although this is a long P it certainly keeps you entertained. This activity involves parents and get kids excited about reading. http://www.seussville.com/parents/activities/mapping-the-places-you-ll-go #ucflae3414su17

This HF book tells the life of a young girl moving from her home in Mexico to California in the Great Depression. This book was an excellent read and can relate to ESOL children in your classroom who also miss their hometowns and are adjusting to a a new life in a new town. This activity can help connect kids to the book and today's world. #ucflae3414su17 http://pin.it/YxjsMPs

This RF book is based off the shooting at Virginia Tech with changes to fit this characters life. The main character has Aspergers and is trying to find closure after her brother has been shot. This book will make you cry and smile at the end and help you have a better understanding of students with disabilities. This would be for 5-8th grade. #ucflae3414su17 https://youtu.be/lxp1LuTdpA4

Fish is a Tree is a RF and was one of New York Times best sellers. I loved this book and would think every teacher can benefit from reading it to help understand what goes on inside a child's held with a learning disability. Found this activity that ask reflecting questions and also helps students understand similes. http://pin.it/npOz-aE #ucflae3414su17

This F book by Jackie Urbanovic was not my favorite. It was my first time reading it and I listened to it on audio which confused me of who was speaking because the reader was using a puppet to speak for most parts which had the same voice for every character. It's a funny story line, but for students I would read the book first and over exaggerate the voices then show them the audio. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zoxWYy8BHrY #ucflae3414su17

The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister is a great F story for young children and has a life lesson of why sharif is important. I listened to this book on YouTube and it's small graphics and music added to the suspense of the book and make it very enjoyable to listen to. https://youtu.be/r9mryuEKkKc #ucflae3414su17

This RF book has a great ending and tells young girls and boys that everyone is equal. I fell in love with the main character, Grace and how humble she was. This would be a great read near Election Day and always teaches some social studies terms. I found this book on read aloud on YouTube! Could be great for ESOL students ://youtu.be/kXCP64CGmXg #ucflae3414su17
