Rodney's book read

I chose a non-fiction book about weird happenings in the weather.  In Missouri we have a lot of weird weather and kids take notice of this.  So, I thought in order to get their attention about a weather unit I would read something more weird than what they already know.  Hopefully this would be a good introduction for the unit and would spark their curiosity into what makes the weather happen.  Of course I don't know this for sure, but that's what I was thinking anyway.  I enjoyed reading it to the class and tried to ask questions as I went to help engage people with the book. I noticed some people had no interest in the book and wondered how I might get their attention.   If I did it again I would try to engage more people with questions or try to come up with a way to get everyone to give an answer.  Overall it was a good learning experience.
