Today we began our Global Read Aloud adventure with the story 'Chopsticks'. Our author study will be all about Amy Krouse Rosenthal. We predicted what the story might be about
before seeing the cover. After Mrs. A took off the cover to show the artwork on the cover, we made new predictions about what the book was about. It really was a book about friendship and not being afraid to take a break, trying new things. The class thoroughly enjoyed the book and its witty play on words ("whisked away" by a real wisk). The author of the book favourited our tweet about how much we enjoyed the story. COOL!
We also discussed what the author's message might have been. We continue to post on our GRA Padlet each day. Tomorrow, we will attempt to use real chopsticks (Thanks, Mrs. Lee!). Rubi said she would bring her own chopsticks into school to show us how it is done. A class in Michigan has even contributed to our padlet post! Check out our twitter conversation below!
