Liam asked about the book we've begun reading, 'There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom,' by Louis Sachar). He stated, "I like it, it's funny." Since I checked out two copies, we began collaboratively reading chapter 4. Liam lost his place once and checked where I was reading to find it. New characters were introduced, and Liam was queried about their descriptions and what he could infer about their character traits. Liam asked what the main character, Bradley, was doing in the boys bathroom. I reminded him that we did not get up to that part yet and asked him if he's even sure it's Bradley, and he reflected on that question. I am glad that the book has engaged his interest and piqued his curiosity so that he asks relevant questions. I am encouraging critical thinking skills as we analyze the characters. A new character, Ms. Carla, the school counselor was introduced in this chapter and Liam shared his opinions about her character. He offered a description, which was facilitated with prompts and by allowing Liam to refer back to the chapter. For the last few minutes of class, Liam joined his classmates in a recess activity.
