Download or read book When the Babies Came to Stay written by Christine McDonnell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gentle, humorous story has a significant message of love and acceptance. The first baby arrived on the mail plane, the second two on the ferry, the fourth asleep on a pile of nets, smelling of mackerel. Who were the babies? Where did they come from? The notes left with them said "Please keep this baby safe" and "Please give my child shelter." Only the librarian can take them home, and the library is where they grow up. The whole island helps to raise them. The fisherman teaches them to cast from the pier, the ferryman shows them charts of the sea, and from the harbormaster they learn to recognize birds. "Who are you?" other children ask. "Why don't you look alike?" The librarian gathers them in her arms. "Families don't always look alike," she says. "And where we're going is more important than where we came from." This charming, lighthearted fairytale contains a message of acceptance that is particularly significant for our time.

Download or read book In Community With Readers written by Lynsey Burkins and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Whole-class reading instruction has the power to harness the collective knowledge of the reading community that will foster independent readers and thinkers as they move through their literate lives.” What is the true purpose of whole-group reading instruction? Is it possible to teach standards and skills while also creating a community in which students are free to bring their whole selves into the work of reading? And how do we make this vision an everyday reality in our grades 3-6 classrooms? Elementary educators Lynsey Burkins and Franki Sibberson answer these questions and more in In Community With Readers: Transforming Reading Instruction with Read-Alouds and Minilessons. Burkins and Sibberson invite us into their classrooms as they redesign read-alouds and minilessons to support readers in whole-group reading instruction. Inside this book you’ll find: ● Ideas for co-creating a community aligned to standards and grounded in readers’ identity, independence, and agency ● A day-by-day look into what read-alouds and minilessons look like across a reading unit ● Practical and meaningful routines for helping students co-construct an understanding of the standards, the books they read, and one another’s ideas ● Planning and note-taking templates designed to center both the standards we teach and the ideas our students bring to these standards ● An illustrated step-by-step guide to the first eight weeks of whole-group reading instruction In this book, Burkins and Sibberson push back on the idea that whole-group reading instruction must be teacher-centered skill and drill, and instead offer us a way to create a truly meaningful whole-group reading community.
