The Book Fair Day Essay
brought him to a doctor so he could run tests. After many tests, the doctor concluded that nothing was wrong with him and that he just speaks in rhymes. This book as a great way to introduce students to rhyming. I also feel like this book would also be great to use in an ESE class, because students would probably be able to relate to Rappy. This book also contains a strong message on being yourself even when people try to tell you something is wrong with you. This is another book that could be used to teach how God created everyone uniquely and that he created us to be ourselves and not anyone else.
Numiroff, L. (2015) If you give a mouse a cookie. New York City, NY: HarperCollins. AD660L (Preschool - 3rd) The story is about a mouse who asks a little boy for a cookie. After the mouse get a cookie he then …show more content…
continues to ask for many other things such as, milk, a straw, a haircut and a nap.
Finally once the mouse got everything he asked for, he asks for a cookie and it starts all over. Like all the books listed, I think this book is a very cute children’s book, but I would suggest this book more as an at home read or a silent reading book. I would maybe suggest parents to use this as a bed time story to read with their student and read the book as they get ready for bed. Other than that i don’t think I would choose this book to incorporate into my lesson plan.
Seuss. (1990) Oh, the places you'll go! New York City, NY: Random House Books for Young Readers. AD600L (Preschool - 3rd) This story is about all the places you will go and all the things you will learn along the way. It will be fun, but at sometimes it will not be. Once you get over the rough parts you still have more places to go. Sometimes you won’t know where to go, and sometimes you will stop in a place called the waiting place, where you just wait for something to happen. Once you escape the waiting place you will accomplish so much and be surrounded by so many people, but you may sometimes be alone. As long as you are careful and smart you will be off to great places. I am a very big supporter of showing young kids what they are capable of doing if they put their minds to it. Going out into the real world is something far from young student’s minds, but I would use this book to encourage my students to think about what they want to do when they grow up. This would also be a good book to introduce in a geography lesson, because although student’s won’t be able to go to the places in the book, they can go to the places on the map. Having experience with traveling I would love to use this book to my student’s more about my experiences and all the place’s I’ve been. While reading this book to my class I would remind them that all the places they will go and the things they will do are all ready planned out for them by God. While reading the part of the book where it talks about not knowing where to go or what to do I would tell my students that in no matter what situation God will always be protecting them. This book is recommend for lower elementary classes, but this book could be used in class for any grade.
Seuss. (1978) I can read with my eyes shut. New York City, NY: Random House Books for Young Readers. 380L I can read with my eyes shut follows young cat and the cat in the hat though the land of Dr. Seuss. The cat in the hat teaches young cat why reading is so important. H tells him about all the things you can learn about if you read and how you maybe be able to read with your eyes closed, but its more important to keep your eyes open because you might miss out on learning about something. I would love to read this to students in my class who struggle with reading. This book makes reading sound a lot more fun for elementary students. Not only is this book telling readers to read with their eyes open but also their minds. I would have students try and read a book with their eyes close and see what happens, once they realize they cant read with closed eyes I will teach them they can’t read with a closed my either. By teaching students to use their imagination to read at an early age this will help their reading skills over time. This another book that I would encourage parents to read to their student at home, because it is a basically read-a-loud book and it could also help parents interest their student in reading at home.
Gassman, J. (2013) You get what you get. Mankato, Minnesota: Picture Window Books. Age Range 5 to 8 / 660L (Kindergarten - 3rd) Melvin always throws a fit when he doesn't get what he wants and he always get away with it at home. However when Melvin goes to school and throws and fit, his teacher does not let him get away with it. His teacher says “You get what you get if you don't throw a fit”. After his teacher tells him that he starts controlling himself in the classroom. When he goes home he tells his parent what his teacher told him and his parents decide that that’s a rule that they’re going to keep in their house. This is another book that could be used to teach classroom behavior. It is a very cute book that I would not hesitate reading if I experienced a situation where student threw a fit. I would also talk about how there may be different rules in the classroom than back at home, but all classroom rules must be followed even if they are not house rules. This shows students what it means to be an obedient child, I would expand on this by using Bible verse about how children should act and treat others. I think this book could be used for not only the recommended age group, but also you're age groups because both can relate to how Melvin acted.
Pichon, L. (2008) Penguins. New York City, NY: Orchard Books. Age Range 5 to 8 / AD480L (Kindergarten - 3rd) The penguins at the zoo have a pretty boring life, until a girl accidentally drops her camera into their inclosure. The baby penguin finds the camera and the penguins decide to take funny pictures until the camera stops working. In the morning, a zoo keeper find the camera and gives it back to the girl. Once the girl gets her camera back she develops all the picture and realizes that the penguins took so of their own. This is a cute book, but I would probably not use this book in my classroom. In the book the penguins find the camera, I would want my students to know to return something once they find it, and I’m not sure if this book would be beneficial to learn that. I could always use the book, as a “what not to do story” but the fact that they are penguins in a zoo would be hard for the students to relate too. This book is very enjoyable and has great illustrates. Even though there might not be any moral story incorporated into it I wouldn’t let that stop me from having this book in my library for my students to read during their own time. Plourde, L. (2006) Book fair day. London, United Kingdom: Dutton Juvenile Age Range 5 to 8 (Kindergarten - 3rd) Dewey Booker loves reading books, and he couldn’t be more excited because It’s Book Fair Day.
Dewey is so excited to go to the library to look at all the books, until he finds out his class isn’t schedule to go till the end of the day. Dewey is so persistent of going to the book fair early he finds anyway he can to sneak in, but his teacher always catches him. When Dewey finally gets to the book fair with his class and is an expert when is comes recommending books to his classmates. I would be a great book to read in class at the beginning of the year to talk to students about reading. Although Dewey is very interested in reading, students who don’t like reading could relate to his classmates who he was recommending books to. This book could be used the teach students that even if they think they don’t like reading, they might enjoy reading about something they life. This also would be an excellent book to read to talk about being patient, since Dewey was not patient at all. When incorporating patience into the lesson, bible verses and stories could be used as well to show students the importance of being
patient.
