New read aloud, Fish in a Tree!

The students are I are very excited about our new read aloud Fish in a Tree by Linda Mullally Hunt. Some interesting conversation ensued from the first two chapters as well as this Einstein quote I had shown the students earlier in the week. We are left wondering how old Ally is and what grade she's in?

We look forward to connecting with other classrooms as well as continuing our conversations.

Earlier this year, we were involved in the Global Read Aloud and discussed themes and topics with other classrooms with our previous book Fish by L.S. Matthews. It was great to also make the connections with the ambassador activity around the Syrian refugee crisis and to connect it to the themes in Fish. We look forward to video conferencing with the author Ms. Dron next Thursday!

Active listening skills will be put to the test!!
