In this one-time class, learners will join Teacher Jolene for a read-aloud of Giant Pacific Octopus by Leon Gray.  Teacher Jolene will help lead through this non-fiction book about octopus with discussion, a circle (schema) and tree map (can; have; are), a direct draw, and simple writing.  Learners will be asked to share their direct drawing and writing with Teacher Jolene.  Class will conclude by singing an octopus song and/or chant and enjoying a favorite snack (provided by learner’s family).
