Wednesday June 1

We had a training lesson for peer reading with Mrs Lee this morning. She read a story to us about a snail and a whale. The snail left a message on a rock that he wanted to have some cool adventures. The whale saw the ad and replied with a giant sized YES. So onto the whale climbed the snail. They did have lots of adventures – the last being a life threatening adventure for the whale. He managed to beach himself. Mrs Lee didn’t like the pictures on that page of the book because there were lots of people on boats and jet skis that weren’t wearing life jackets. Those people were the reason the whale got all confused and got stranded. Maybe they were drawn without life jackets because they were like irresponsible people who don’t care about the well-being of whales as well as the well-being of their own lives.

The book reminds me of a joke I must tell the class. It involves a snail as well. I think I will use Mr Reinecke as one of the characters in the joke. I hope someone reads what I am writing so they can remind me to tell the joke. Just before lunch today would be a good time. Maybe I will reward the person that reminds me to tell the joke. I don’t mind if people read my writing. I guess the purpose of writing is that someone read it sometime.
