Recess Queen

If you haven't read "Mean Jean the Recess Queen" by Alexis O'Neill, I highly recommend it for the start up of your school year. What a great way to open up discussion on bullying and how to reach out to others.

From making connections to our own experiences, looking closer at the characters, diving into vocabulary, and even discussing why Jean behaved the way she did. It was interesting to watch the students explore and share their thoughts. Their drawings were very detailed and certainly had a lot to say about what their favorite part of the story was. As mentioned in my last blog, we posted writings on their favorite part on Padlet. I also made a bulletin board of our work. I printed a color photo of a  screen shot of our Padlet project along with a QR code so other students and teachers in our school can access it online.



Want to see the Padlet as well. Using a QR code reader, scan the image below and it should take you to it.
