I was wondering what other books you include in that unit? I teach 6th grade and would love to formalize an empathy unit this year for my class.

Ruby on the outside arrived last week on my hold shelf. Requesting several new picture books and Korman's Masterminds. Thanks for the suggestions!

I love Nora Raleigh Baskin's work. Masterminds was one of Korman's best books to date I think. (Although my readers tell me I have to read The Ungifted) Happy reading this week. <br />Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-54802920558924794692015-08-24T13:37:57.752-04:002015-08-24T13:37:57.752-04:00You read my 2 favorite picture books of the year s...You read my 2 favorite picture books of the year so far!

Unfortunately, I taught too many students who had one or more parents in prison. The most common homework excuse I received was I was visiting family in prison all weekend. I suppose jail waiting rooms aren't the best place to do homework. I would have had students who could relate to Ruby.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210045352610490115noreply@blogger.com
