Picture Book 10 for 10 - 8.10.18



Thank you Cathy Mere at Reflect & Refine and Mandy Robek at Enjoy and Embrace Learning for organizing this day. Stop by the Google Community to see even more ideas, or look for the hashtag #pb10for10.

Cultivating mentor texts is something we've been working on for awhile.  And while we look at curriculum units and plan for engaging and connected lessons, we've also learned we have to have texts that look at the whole child.  Meaning while curriculum learning is important, so is social emotional learning.  Here are 10 texts that you can pull out to encourage students to approach the social part of their learning.

Feeling like you belong and learning it's ok to be different:
