Today we started our new read aloud titled, "Clementine". We just finished reading Flat Stanley and Mrs. Wideen signed us up to do this read aloud with 17 other classes around the world. We have a reading schedule for how many pages Mrs. Wideen has to read to us a week. Today we read the first chapter of Clementine. Mrs. Wideen made a new room on Todaysmeet so we could discuss the book with the other classes. We then tweeted the prompt on Twitter on our class twitter account @mrswideensclass so the other classes would know and could join in the conversation if they wished. Here was our first prompt that we answered today:
On Wednesday we are going to read chapter 2 via Google Hangout with another class and discuss our predictions and question for chapter 3.
We have a few questions about this book:
ReplyDelete1] Was it fun to read the first chapter? -- Connor and Avery
2] Does the book capture your attention? -- Lexis
3] Is "Clementine" a girl or a boy because on the front cover, there is a person, but I'm not sure? -- Lindsay
