Hi everyone! I hope that you have been enjoying my Back To School Blog Series. If you haven't guessed it by now, including books that represent all of my students in my classroom is very important to me. Just scroll back through my posts to see examples. When I'm introducing standards for the first time in class, (which happens naturally during the first 9 weeks), I try to focus on engaging books that have a more simple story line. This way the students build their foundational knowledge of the standard without confusion or frustration. Yoko is a great book for looking at how character's react to events and actions in a story. The story line is relatable to students and carries a theme of empathy which is so vital to our community. This book lends itself to teaching reading skills while also teaching a social studies or character education lesson. Thanks so much for stopping by!
