In my Language class, students use a mentor sentence to focus on one grammar and writing skill each week. For example, during the first week of school, we read "First Day Jitters" and focused on simple sentences and possessives. Students begin working on their mentor sentence task in their language notebook as soon as they enter my classroom. Throughout the week we write what we notice, we break down parts of speech and sentence structure, revise and imitate the sentence. When students are given the chance to imitate the sentence their creativity really shines. They are able to take the skills we discuss throughout the week and make their very own sentence. These skills also transfer over to their writing. These books are wonderful for language lessons, but they allow us to discuss life lessons and themes as well. So far this school year we have discussed September 11th, relationships with families, diversity, and many more. Using short picture books allows more time for conversation than reading a full novel. Even if the topic is tricky to discuss, students are not intimidated when the information is presented in the form of a picture book. The books on this list will allow my students to explore the world around them, laugh, and learn.
