閱讀與故事時間：穿越謝爾·西爾弗斯坦（原版）

We will read and review books by Shel Silverstein beginning with:
"Where the Sidewalk Ends",  "A light in the Attic", "Falling Up", and "The Missing Piece".
In these poems we will pause for group discussion regarding content and meaning, or questions to clarify meaning. Some poems will involve Q+A before and after to guess what t the kids think the poem will be about and then discuss after the poem is read.
I have flagged poems that I will not be reading due to content or illustrations.
Children will not need to read prior to meeting, nor will need any previous experience with poems. 

During each class,  we will meet together as a group and follow along as the teacher read from  each book, beginning with "Where the Sidewalk Ends". Each class is typically able to cover  20-30 pages, depending on discussions regrading meanings, the illustrations role for the poem, as well as general interaction with the students. The teacher will present and have the book for display during the class section  so that is is not necessary for students to purchase their own. However, those that have their own copy may be allowed to request reading and work on their pronunciation, waiting their turn, as well as speaking appropriately with their peers. 

At the end of each class, we will keep our place and review our favorite poems from the day.  At the next class meeting, the reading will pick up in the book read in the previous class meeting and continue until the end of the book and the next will begin.
