Every book we read has a purpose. This week, the books we read launched us into discussions and projects about our classroom community.
Have you ever been hurt? This week we read Chrysanthemum and Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon. Both characters are faced with problems that could make them feel hurt, so how do they overcome those problems?
We each bravely drew and labeled a time when we felt hurt. Then we sorted our illustrations into "Feelings Hurt" and "Body Hurt." Some ideas fit into both categories! Then we brainstormed ways to react to the examples in these categories.
We read Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Sportsmanship and discussed what it means to be a "good sport." There were so many ideas about when and where you could be a good sport, as well as what it would look like and sound like. We each contributed an illustration to show an example of being a good sport. Ask your first grader how s/he can be a good sport!
