After reading this book, I can see why so many kids love it. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Aven Green is the main character. She was born without arms, but that hasn't held her back. Things change when Aven moves to Arizona and enrolls in a new a school. At first, she has a hard time making friends. When she meets Connor and Zion, classmates who also struggle with feeling different than the other kids, Aven's life takes an unexpected turn. The trio of freinds help each other overcome feelings of isolation and embarassment. In the process of realizing how significant their lives really are, they also solve a huge mystery! Readers will love connecting with characters that are rarely portrated in young adult fiction. Lessons about empathy, compassion, and self-esteem are expertly weaved throughout, making this a must-read for all middle grade readers! ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ #readingtime #readingislife #iteachreading #readingteacher #yalit #yaliterature #childrensbooks #bookrecommendation #yabooks #kidsbooks #bookstagram #bookshelf #readingstrategies #readingcomprehension #booklover #librarian #librarianlife #librariansofinstagram #iteachela #languagearts #reading

Merriam-Webster explains the difference between fewer and less using this fun mnemonic: We all want fewer problems and less trouble. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ The word ‘fewer’ is used to refer to things that are counted, as in "fewer choices" and "fewer problems.” The word ‘less’ is used to refer to things that are measured, as in "less time" and "less effort." In other words, if the noun is countable, use fewer. If the noun is uncountable, use less. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Hopefully, this quick explanation will help your students differentiate between fewer and less. 🧐⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ #grammar #grammarmatters #grammarpolice #grammartips #grammartiptuesday #englishgrammar #grammarnerd #grammarrules #teacherlife #teacherhack #teachingtip #teacherideas #teachersofig #teachergram #iteach4th #iteachela #englishteacher #readingteacher #middleschool #iteachmiddles #teachersofig ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ⠀

When new teacher asks you what essentials they should get for their classroom, what’s your go-to #1 recommendation?⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ I ALWAYS say a timer. I like all types, but my favorites are the mini-hourglass sand timers for fluency readings, the large magnetic timers that hang on the whiteboard, and the smaller visual timers (like the one in the picture) for group work. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ #teachersofinstagram #classroommanagement #upperelementary #elementaryteachers #iteach5th #iteach456 #iteachmiddle #middleschool #iteachela #iteachenglish #readingteacher #teacherlife #newteacher #studentteacher #iteachreading #teachergram #iteachtoo #iteach #teachersofig #iteach6th #iteach7th #iteach8th #languagearts #classroomsupplies #teacherhacks #teacherideas ⠀⁣ ⠀

Did you know that Jamie Lee Curtis writes best-selling children’s books??? I recently researched a slew of children’s books about immigration and the refugee experience, and one of Jamie Lee Curtis’s book stood out. ⬇⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ It’s called This is Me. It’s an interactive book about moving to a new country. The story begins with a teacher telling her class about her great grandmother who came from a faraway land. As the teacher continues with the story, students learn that packing for a big move isn’t easy. They are asked to consider what they would pack if they had to move away. What would fit in one small case? The rhythmic story encourages readers of all ages to imagine what it would be like to move someplace different. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ I could see the book serving as a great jumping off point for many different types of units. If you want to check out all the books I sourced on immigrants and refugees, I dropped the link in bio @literacyinfocus. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Happy reading! ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ #readingtime #readingislife #iteachreading #readingteacher #childrensbooks #bookrecommendation #yabooks #kidsbooks #bookstagram #bookshelf #readingstrategies #readingcomprehension #booklover #librarian #librarianlife #librariansofinstagram #iteachela #languagearts #reading
