http://mrsmullinsbookblog.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2008. By Sara Pennypacker: Uploaded to Amazon.com. Is a delightfully original romp through the wacky world of a sassy nine year old. I read it aloud to my 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son, and they both loved it. From the first page, we were all entertained by Clementine's interpretation of the world around her. Or that cutting and coloring her hair to match Margaret’s was exactly the wrong thing to do? Marla Frazee’s hilarious illustrations, kept us in stitches. They ...I will ...

Saturday, April 5, 2008. New York: Puffin Books, 1998. I left all the books for this course out on the coffee table right after I bought them. Almost immediately, my kids started flipping through them. They were enjoying themselves, so I took advantage of the opportunity to get some other things done. (I love it when I can let books be my babysitter.) A little while later, by 5 year old came into my room holding. This is the best book ever! Rene Saldana, Jr. April 8, 2008 at 7:35 PM.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Tunnel, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Liteature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall, 2008. I loved what Madeleine L'Engle said on page 234 about the necessity of a reader to "create a book along with the writer." I think it speaks to the importance of developing students' schemas. The richer their background knowledge of pictures, art, sounds, words, etc.,the better equipped they will be to creatively engage in the reading process. How to Teach It:.

Sunday, February 24, 2008. Read Aloud Plan #2. For my second read aloud, I plan to use a book by my current favorite children’s book authors, Don and Audrey Wood, called The Little Mouse, the Red, Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear. It is about a little mouse, who finds a red, ripe strawberry and must eat it before the big, hungry bear gets it. The solution? So here’s how it went…. The kids were so funny. Most of them remembered the book, and several said they had it at home. I told them th...8221;...

Sunday, April 13, 2008. Read Aloud Plan #3. For this read aloud, I will use. Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters. By John Steptoe. The story is about two daughters, one loving and kind, Nyasha, and the other greedy and selfish, Manyara, who vie for the proposal of the king. I will read it to Mrs. Sevigny’s first grade class at Wheelock Elementary. Parts of this story sound a lot like. So I want to see if any of the children find the connection between the two folktales. 8221; and changed the subject. Angry Hous...

Sunday, April 13, 2008. New York: Puffin Books, 1998. In wordless books like. By Istvan Banyai, details in the illustrations are extremely important to notice. Just before a major setting change, Banyai gives the reader a hint of what is to come. In this lesson, students will focus on finding clues in the pictures that indicate impending change. Such attention to detail is important to develop in young readers because it aids in comprehension of the story. How to Teach It. 1st Grade Standards Taught.

Saturday, March 29, 2008. Illus Martin Matje. New York: Scholastic, 2002. By the third grade, students should be able to listen critically to interpret and evaluate material presented in class.
