Our book for week 4 of the Global Read Aloud was ! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Our class really enjoyed this wonderful story about an exclamation mark learning that it is okay to be different. In the story, the exclamation mark learns to exclaim all sorts of fun words and phrases. We had a great time writing and exclaiming our own words and phrases. Using ChatterPix, we even made the ! character do the talking! Check out our work below:
We really enjoyed exclaiming all sorts of things and I know this will be a valuable activity to build on as we learn to be expressive Grade 1 readers! I loved the positive message that this book shared about embracing our individuality and special talents. Amy Krouse Rosenthal is fast becoming our favourite author with her meaningful, yet entertaining and funny books. Check out the book trailer for ! here.
