"The Word Collector"
Read Aloud, Make Your Own Word Collection and Journal
Hi, my friends! We have my student guest teacher Ms. Cipoletti back for another guest read aloud. She has picked one of her favorites-- The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds. This book celebrates the power of words. Words that are fun to say. Words that describe who you are. Words that spark your imagination. Words you have around your house. Words that you come across in your books. Words, words, words in general! After listening to this book, you can start to put together a word collection of your own. Ms. Cipoletti will give you some ideas on how to find words after she reads you the book. Enjoy listening to Jerome (the main character) teach you about the power words have. Click HERE to listen to the story.
Build Your Word Collection!
To get started on a word collection of your own, the possibilities are endless! You can print out the activity I have prepared by clicking HERE. All you need to do is search for words and put them on the blank slips of paper. Of course, you can get a piece of paper, cut up slips and make a collection of our own. You can even use a notebook to start a word collection.
You can even upload a picture of you with a special word to the official Word Collector Website by clicking HERE. Share your word with the world!
Write in a Daily Journal after Reading
Mr. Giso's Journal Idea #6
After reading and listening to "The Word Collector," write about words. What words are unfamiliar to you? What words are challenging? What words do you think are fun to say? What words can you find in your kitchen, book or games? We can't wait to hear them.
Print out my "Journal Pages" by clicking HERE if you'd like to have some paper. There's a spot for an illustration, too. Get ready to hear from our Salem Community Volunteer, Mrs. Karam. She is getting ready for your next activity. It's going to be a good one. Thank you, Ms. Cipoletti. Thank you, Mrs. Karam!
