Up, Down and Around is a informational text that was read as part of our new unit on plants. It categorizes vegetables by how they grow: above the ground, below the ground and above ground, on vines. I used the "big book" format to read to the class so the children could get a really good look at the illustrations. Specifically, our class was interested in the picture of the fully-grown bean plant as this week the students studied the seeds for green bean plants.
Mom and Me is a great book to read to the class around Mother's Day because it relates all the ways that children appreciate mothers. This book uses photographs to illustrate the stories of three children and their mothers. I think it is a good book because it shows different parenting styles. This book was a good introduction for our discussion about all the ways that children love and appreciate their moms.
Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big was a book chosen by our student teacher Ms. Griffin, to read aloud to the class. Basically this book is about honesty and why it is so important to have honesty in our world. The story is challenging, but with the guidance of Ms. Griffin, the students grasped the storyline and message.
