Wemberly Worried

To help the students make connections and to ease them into the change of a new grade and class, we read Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes. After reading the story, we discussed how we should treat one another in class. The students then wrote and illustrated their favorite part of the story.

Wemberly Worried

During the first week of school we read Wemberly Worried as a part of a lesson on discussion. The students learned the rules of discussion such as using our eyes to look at the speaker, listening with our ears, and not interrupting. As we read the book, we stopped to practice the rules of discussions with partners. The students discussed their favorite parts of the book and retold what was happening from beginning, middle, and end. After discussing, the students illustrated and wrote about their favorite part of Wemberly Worried.
