The Wonky Donkey!

WALT: Make connections between ourselves, other texts and the world.  I think thats the WALT means to connect to something in the book that you have experienced or can relate to. For other texts, I think it means to remember or recognize something in the book you read and a different book. I think the world means to connect to something that you have seen or heard about in the world.

 Hey guys! This week for reading we were focusing on some of our teachers childhood favourite books. We got to choose from, Hairy Maclary, Where the wild things are, Wonky Donkey, You are special, Pigasso meets Mootise, The empty pot, The bad case of stripes and The tale of Peter Rabbit. I chose the story, The Wonky Donkey. It was about a donkey that was very different. He was tall and slim, smelly but cool and was always getting into mischief! This was a very fun post and fun book. I enjoyed all the create tasks. I hope you enjoy this post and learn something new!

Make connections between with your journal and yourself, another text or movie and then the world.
