= Family Bibliography = Children’s Fiction Non-Fiction 5. **Kinkade, Sheila 2006 My family Charles bridge 25 pages** a. This book shows pictures from all around the world and talks about how familes work together and love each other. The book talks about how families show love all around the world. b. For related curriculum the first thing that comes to mind is geography. I would also try to set up having pen pals from around the world. For the younger grades who are just learning to write having them illustrate and then dictate their letters. To bring in math standards I would want to talk about measuring for our envelopes.
 * 1) **1.** **Gutman, Anne. 2003 Lisa’s Baby Sister Alfred A. Knopf, 26 pages, Ironwood Public Library**
 * 2) a. This book is about a female animal named lisa. She has an older sister and lives with mom and dad. However now mom is pregnant. Lisa talks about how her mom being pregnant changes what her mom can do. After her mom has the baby Lisa talks about how she feels about the new baby.
 * 3) b. This book would be great for an illustration walk through and for young non readers because the back cover has snapshots of what happens throughout the book. I would have this book be part of an art activity when we are practicing Impressionism. The illustrations in the entire book are in impressionism style.
 * 4) **2.** **Porte, Barbara Anne 1991 Harry Gets an Uncle, Harper Collins Publishers 47 Pages**
 * 5) a. This book is about a boy named Harry figuring out how he will gain an uncle and everything that goes along with having a wedding. Harry talks to a friend and finds out everything that can go wrong with a wedding and gaining an uncle in the family.
 * 6) b. This family would be a good start to talking about world geography because it talks about having a vacation to Bermuda. You could also do a mini unit on dance during P.E. This book would also be great to talk about special events like having wedding and how to act, dress and food they have.
 * 7) **3.** **McKay, Sindy 2011 Jack and the Toddler, Treasure Bay, Inc. 40 pages**
 * 8) a. This book is about a boy named Jack, who is having a new friend, a toddler, come over. He talks about all the fun stuff they can do, but his mom gives other options, because Mark, the toddler, is small. Finally Jack figures out he can do all the things that he want, he just needs to change them a little so Mark can do them too!
 * 9) b. This book would be great to read to explain that sometimes we need to change activities so that everyone can participate. This book would also be great to challenge students to work together to create activities they could do with reading buddies from older grades. This book shows the boys painting on a table cloth outside, this could be a segue to talk about different art methods and how the weather can affect what your art supplies do.
 * 10) **4.** **Holabird, Katharine 2000 Angelina’s Baby Sister Pleasant Company Publications 24 pages**
 * 11) a. In this book Angelina, has a baby sister. She gets home and is disappointed that her family is paying more attention to the new baby, when she has something to show them. When her grandparents come over and see the baby first, Angelina gets to angry she breaks her surprise award. Her family shows that they still love Angelina even when she breaks things and has a new baby sister.
 * 12) b. This book is part of a series, so it would be a great way to show transition of time for characters. At the beginning of the book you see the Dr. leaving the house, so we could talk about where babies are born at and why parents would chose each option, for 3rd grade. We could also talk about all the things that moms and dads do at their house and what we think our responsibilities are.
 * 13) **5.** **Mills, Claudia 1997 Gus and Grandpa and the Christmas cookies HarperCollins 48 pages**
 * 14) a. Gus and Grandpa are making Christmas cookies. When it was time to frost the cookies, grandpa realized they forgot the sprinkles and had to go to the store. When they go to the store they see a man collecting donations for orphans. After gus and grandpa have decoated cookies, his neighbors bring over 6 dozen cookies and they must decide what to do with all the extra cookies.
 * 15) b. This would be a great book to read around the holidays and have the students bake cookies. This would bring in math for measuring and science for how and why we bake with certain items. We could also talk about Weather and how it affects the baking and what it is like living in a place with snow.
 * 1) **1.** **Hammersmith, Craig 2003 What is a family Compass Point Books 24 pages**
 * 2) a. This book talks about all aspects of a family including extended families. The book also talks about how friends are our family and how to make a family tree.
 * 3) b. This book would be a great way to integrate geography of where our families live and you can relate that to measurement of distance. I also like the idea of having students create their own family tree and have them illustrate it and then collect pictures with parents. This would be a great way to show different mediums of art.
 * 4) **2.** **Crist, James 2010 Siblings: You’re stuck with each other so stick together Free Spirit Publishing 111 pages**
 * 5) a. This book is broken down into 5 chapters. The chapters talk about relating to siblings, birth order, situations that can cause conflict, how to create a friendship and how to bond with siblings.
 * 6) b. This book was picked to be a family resource book that I would reccoment to parents or students struggling with sibling rivalry.
 * 7) **3.** **Lock Fiona 2008 Family Vacation DK publishing 32 pages**
 * 8) a. This book talks about vacations that families take together and all the things that families can do during a vacation.
 * 9) b. This book would be a great book to talk about when coming back from winter or spring vacation. I would tie geography of vacations. Taking data and making a chart of activities and places families went over break would tie in math. The standard response would also be to have the students create a journal entry to talk about what they did on their vacation. For student who didn’t go anywhere or do anything abnormal on vacation I would have them participate in all activities based on what they wished they had done.
 * 10) **4.**  **Stewart, Sheila 2011 I live in two homes: adjusting to divorce and remarriage**
 * 11) a. This book has a social story at the beginning about a little girl named Celeste who lives with her mom primarily and lives with dad every other weekend and a couple weeks during the summer. At the end of the book, it talks about statistics of divorce and how to cope and what happens next.
 * 12) b. For related curriculum matter I would relate the social story to geography for where the dad lives and how far you could go in two hour and history for what would that be like in the past and how you think it will be like in the future. I would also have the students journal about what it would be like to have two houses and how would you decorate your rooms or what you would keep at each house.
