I am a first grade teacher whose class is comprised of only English Language learners. The children come throughout the year with a wide range of language proficiencies. Some are very vocal while others repeat short phrases and whisper quiet little requests. As the year progresses everyone seems to blossom and the room fills with language and the children begin to ask questions. Equipped with their new language they begin to ask all the "how come" and "why" questions their minds can fathom. While they are producing more advanced language with greater detail, answering their questions is sometimes a challenge. I need a lot of picture support to reinforce abstract concepts and to match new vocabulary to a physical object. I would like 20 read aloud Lets-Find-Out books that answer questions about growth in animals as well as plants, and that examine our world and the properties of matter as well as explore the seasons. These picture rich books are filled with text features designed to support the print. I love that my students are risk takers and explorers and I want to help them answer those questions that just need to be answered!
