I can't wait to see the list for pictures books that show characters

Melissa,
I wonder how similar your UOS are to the Teachers College Units...can you
name a few across the grades, K-5?
In Jan-Feb ours look like this:
K - Print Strategies
1 - Print Strategies
2 - Nonfiction Strategies
3 - Book Clubs in Series
4 - Book Clubs in Historical Fiction
5 - Book Club
Mr. Lincoln's Way by Patricia Polacco is great for character.
