I am requesting 25 copies of the book Hello, Universe. This book will be used for a 6th grade Language Arts Enrichment class. We will read it as a class novel, where students read aloud, work on collaborative projects, and hopefully have the opportunity to enjoy a good novel. So many of the books offered today, although great classics, are outdated in terms of connections for the kids. This Newbery winner offers diversity in cultures, disabilities, and home lives. The novel is also fun and relatable, challenges thinking, and adds real world “kid talk” with the use of text messaging and today's lingo. My goal is to find a class book that meets the IUG standards with our Acceptance and Responsibility Unit, while also showing all my kids that they can be represented within a novel.
