Reflection Favorite Picture Book

February 02, 2025

My favorite picture book as a child was Don't Let the Pigeon Drive This Bus! By: Mo Willems. I think this was my favorite book when I was a child because just the idea of it I feel it was just funny to let a pigeon drive a bus and it just made me actually imagine the thing actually taking place. This isn't the only book in the series there are also other books that were made that revolve around the pigeon and it always got me intrigued about what the pigeon could be doing the next time around.

Realistic Fiction

February 16, 2025

Realistic Fiction is a genre of storytelling in which it can depict the story and characters could theoretically happen in the real world with a believable setting and situation that can resemble everyday life. These kind of books are made to be relatable towards the people that read them as well as the things that could be made up in the books are in real life or based in real life to make the kid imagine this actually happening. My opinion and reflection on this genre is that to me being able read a story that is something that could be theoretically in real life and being able to possibly relate to it is defiantly a story that I would read and be able to imagine in real life. Wonder by R.J. Palacio is a novel about a boy named August Pullman who starts middle school for the first time. Auggie has a facial difference that makes him stand out, and the book explores themes of kindness, acceptance, and empathy. Other Realistic Fiction Books: Fish in a Tree/New Kid

Paden Tortorice: Hi! My name is Paden Tortorice and I am a Elementary Education SPED Major at Houston Christian University. Towards the end of high school I had to make a decision about what I wanted to do with my life, and I realized that in my life I have always taught the game of baseball to not only kids younger than me but also those who I teamed with. Once I made up my mind I realized that teaching was where God intended on me to go. My goal not only is to be in the elementary scene but to eventually move up into the high school scene and make an impact all over. Reading has never been my strong suit, but over the years I have learned that reading is the way to learn about life around us and figure out how the world has become the way it is. It is important to teach young kids about reading so that they understand its importance to our society and why we read, its not just important for learning but it is also important for learning lessons in life.
