On Thursday, Kelly read the book The Keeping Quilt, by Patricia Polacco. This book takes readers through each generation of the writers' family through their use of a family quilt. The words are simple, yet personal, and the pictures are entirely in brown except for the quilt in each picture. Although this book may not seem like a typical "informational" text, it is a nonfictional story and includes culture and history.
Kelly also passed around the Young Explorers book, Human Body. Although it is not a book that Kelly chose to read aloud to the group, it would be a great book to have as a resource, and children would have a blast looking through the pop-up pages.
After the read-aloud, we traveled to the Reflector to work on creating a way to present our groups' 6-traits books by utilizing technology.
Our homework is to finish our 6-traits books' technology, and remember that our next article response is also due on Tuesday!
