Summary
WEEK 1: Moja Means One:Counting Swahili by Muriel Feelings
The Swahili words for the first ten numbers are introduced together with information on East African culture.
Student Response: They did not like the book. They thought it was really are to pronounce the words.
WEEK 2: Busy Body Book By Lizzy Rockwell
Lizzy Rockwell explains how your bones and muscles, heart and lungs, nerves and brain all work together to keep you on the go. Kids walk and skate and tumble through these pages with such exuberance that even sprouting couch potatoes will want to get up and bounce around—and that’s the ultimate goal. Studies show that American kids are becoming more sedentary and more overweight and that they carry these tendencies with them into adolescence and adulthood. Experts agree that we need to help kids make physical activity a life-long habit. Through education, information, and encouragement, this book aims to inspire a new generation of busy bodies!
Student Response: This book was more interesting. Some hard words but they had a better understanding of this book. they kind of learned about what their bodies do.
WEEK 3: Dairy of the Wimpy Kid: Rodrick's Rules By Jeff Kinney
The format of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is the same as the first book. Lined pages and Greg's pen and ink sketches and cartoons really make the book seem like an actual diary, or as Greg would emphasize, “a journal.” Greg is still not the poster boy for the perfect kid, but that adds to the fun as he suffers the consequences of some of his poor choices.
Student Response: These kids were more interested in this book. they were more excited to read something they were interested in.
