Shared Reading: we listened to and read the song "From Little Things, Big Things Grow". I love this song and the way Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody sing together. I can "picture" the scenes unfolding as I listen to the text. Here is my PDF of my story - I read each page and drew a picture in Paint.Net in response to each page.

Term 2 Shared Reading: we read a poem with Miss. S titled "Lost Generation". The poem starts off being negative about the world and how lots of awful things happen. It describes a terrible view of our world - one that we live in today. The 2nd half of the poem though, shows how we can turn those negatives around and make the world a better place to live.
