I am a future elementary school teacher who loves to read and try new books both inside and outside of the classroom. This blog is dedicated to cataloging and keeping up with all the books I would like to use in my future classroom as well as ways I can use them in my classroom!
Grace is simply Amazing! She has creativity and determination to get through anything life throws her way! Grace imagines herself as many things that she sees in her life and when her school puts on the play "Peter Pan" she wants to be Peter. Her classmates tell her she could never be Peter because she is a girl but int he end she gets her dream role of Peter. I would use this book for a writing activity and have students create a newspaper article about grace complete with headline, illustration, and article. This would be a great book to accompany a lesson on the text feature in nonfiction text (such as the newspaper article they are going to write) so they are able to take what they have learned and put it into their writing in a fun way with the context of this book.
