Ducks Overboard

7/7/2022

So many great places to take this book!
1. Use as a mentor text. Students write first person as an inanimate object.
2. Start discussing issues in the world like plastic in the ocean. In the back of the book it tells the reader about facts, ocean currents, and how we can help.
3. Use for geography and follow the ducks.

The Bear report by thyra heder

7/16/2020

This book starts out with a shoddily done report on bears. The main character writes:
"They are big."
"They eat things." and
"They are mean."

She is in for a surprise when a polar bear shows up in her room and declares that not all polar bears are mean. He then takes her out a tour of his habitat. The pictures are stunning. This would be a great book to show students what NOT to do for a report and what TO DO for a report. The story is touching and informational.

This fabulous book takes Sam, the cat, and maps out his life. Great introduction to maps. Some of the "maps" are illustrations with labels. The last line is, "Can uno map a dream? You might try." Beautiful illustrations.
