I sure am enjoying being the Reading Coach at RTE. For the last two weeks, I have had the opportunity to go into many classrooms and share a read aloud. This book, Big Al, is one of my favorites. As we read, we made connections to the events in the book and shared our own feelings about making new friends. We also talked about the story elements including; characters, setting, problem, and theme. The start of the school year can be hard, but Big Al reminded us that we can all be friends when we accept one another. Enjoy some of my reactions to a few of the classes that I read to. Until next time...KEEP READING!
