Where Children and parents can discuss their thinking, ideas and the world!
Lately, we have been very busy reading books by Rosemary Wells. We first read Bunny Cakes and discussed the things Max and Ruby do and say. We then read Yoko and decided to write about her. When we study what characters do and say we get to know how they are from the inside or their "internal character traits". We share our thinking about why characters do what they do and try to figure out how they feel or what kind of people they are. Please click on the issuu link below to read some of our thoughts about Yoko. You can also look at the slideshow below. Please ask your child to tell you the story of Yoko using the feelings words that we have learned. Then post a comment on our blog. http://issuu.com/eslmonica/docs/yoko_book.docx

In the first book, Yoko is happy because her mom made her favorite food for lunch. She is also sad and frustrated that no one tried her sushi. The Frank brothers were not very nice to her and made fun of her sushi. In the second book, Yoko was sad when the other girls teased her reading and writing skills but she was able to write her name in Japanese at graduation while they were not. However, Yoko was nice to the girls and taught them how to write their name.

I think she was happy at the end because Timothy and Yoko shared food together and nobody teased them.
