Out of My Mind
Amanda Hoke – Emmons Elementary School – EM81
We are reading this chapter book in summer school and the students love it. It is about a little girl who has a disability, can’t walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory and is very smart. Through time she learns to communicate with a talking board and that changes her relationships with her family and at school. I would love to use this chapter book in my class as a whole class read a lot with teaching points about how to treat others, how to overcome challenges, how not to judge others, etc. This book lends itself to the SEL curriculum as well. I am looking to purchase to a class set.
