GRA and Be the Good News

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Enjoy time spent with your family and friends:)
This week for the Global Read Aloud we read the book 'Nana in the City'.  Students were asked to write about how a cape (like the one in the story) might make them brave.  Check out our padlet and our awesome writing!

We also finished our collaborative Google Slides presentation about how we can be the Good News like Jesus!

Today we read our first book from the Global Read Aloud 2016,  We are doing an author/illustrator study of Lauren Castillo.  The first book we read is called 'Nana in the City' about a young boy scared of the big, noisy city.  His grandma knits him a cape to confront his fears and he ends up loving the city!  Afterwards, we reflected on our own fears, shared them with the class and wrote about them using the template found here. Pictures to follow later this week!
