Four Perfect Pebbles:
Chapter 2&3: I wrote chapters 2 & 3 together because they were both very short chapters. Throughout reading this book, it is very easy to imagine what the author is writing about. I also like throughout these 2 chapters that they have the pictures so you can see what these people looked like and you can somewhat get an idea of their living. Throughout chapter 2, I get somewhat confused because it seems that such a long period of time is summed up in 2 paragraphs. But as we talked about last class, every day was just the same as the day before. At the end of chapter 3, it described the family leaving home and traveling to Holland. The way this section is described seems so outrageous to me. The specific things that they were not allowed to bring with them and that everything else was just taken right out of their hands is something that would be very difficult. Besides taking the 4 blankets and a few other items with them and then having the 3 household containers sent to them, in my life today that would seem impossible. I would have a hard time parting with a lot of my things. I would be nervous if I were them to not receive those 3 containers.
To Understand:
Chapter 3: This chapter had a TON of information throughout the figures. On page 49, the story about Kevin, the kindergartner in a very low income school was a real great story. I think it is a great example of how some of our students are in our own classrooms. I also liked reading about the different sessions throughout the figures (crafting, composing). I would like to talk about these in class though to compare and contrast the two sessions.
