Students in Kindergarten Cohort 2 have been enjoying a read-aloud unit
titled Celebrating Our Differences! Students identified the characters
in each story as well as the secret message that the author was trying
to teach their readers. After reading “It’s Okay to Be Different,”
students made unique paper plate faces. They also created a mixed-media
scene from the story Big Al, depicting the main character and his fish
friends from the story. The students are becoming experts at finding the
hidden message within stories!
