4T Bookworms

Together, we have been reading the text Fish in a Tree by Linda Mullaly Hunt. See the blurb below to get an understanding of the book. Or you can watch the book trailer if you like!

We are loving our class novel about Ally Nickerson, a girl who struggles with her learning.

“I like this book so far because it has some parts where the main character has to use courage.” Georgia

“Ally Nickerson has trouble reading so she creates distractions so the teacher’s don’t notice her.” Dougie

“This is an interesting book because I enjoy hearing her excuses but some of us feel frustrated because she gets opportunities to ask for help and doesn’t use them. Instead she calls herself dumb.” Alice and Eliza

This week 4T also received their first Book Chat books.

We have had a couple of exciting first weeks, settling in to our new class and participating in many school activities!

We have had many discussions about how we want to feel and our expectations of others and ourselves at school which led into creating our Learning Expectations for the year, so that we can come to school everyday and feel happy, safe and motivated to learn!

Which expectation do you believe is most important? Which guideline do you think you need to work on a little more?
