Triangle and Square are visiting Circle, who lives at the waterfall. When they play hide-and-seek, Circle tells the friends the one rule: not to go behind the falling water. But after she closes her eyes to count to ten, of course that’s exactly where Triangle goes. Will Circle find Triangle? And what OTHER shapes might be lurking back there? Author/Illustrator Information: Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen have made six books together: Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Extra Yarn, The Wolf, the Duck and the Mouse, Triangle, Square and this book, Circle.

They both live in California, USA, but in different cities. Jon is from Canada, Mac is not. How to Use These Notes: This story works on many levels. The suggested activities are therefore for a wide age and ability range.

    Recommended Read Aloud Booklist for March Compiled by Jan Powell Curriculum Coordinator Literacy Programs Screen Actors Guild Foundation The month of March has several special themes for choosing books to read to students. Here are some sample ideas for March read alouds. In many cases the authors chosen have additional titles. Special themes: Read Across America (Celebrating Dr. Seuss’s Birthday); Recent Award-Winning Books; St. Patrick’s Day Celebrating Dr. Seuss’s Birthday March 1st is this year’s ‘official’ big day for celebrating Read Across America, sponsored by the National Education Association and its partners, with many special events planned. March 2, 2013, marks the 109th birthday of children’s book author Theodor Seuss Geisel. However, school districts and schools often plan special days or weeks during March that focus on literacy and the importance of reading in students’ learning lives. There are too many books by Dr. Seuss to list all of them, but books should be easy to find because there are so many. A helpful resource for other materials is: http://www.nea.org/grants/read-across-america-downloadables.html st Classic Dr. Seuss books for PreK – 1 : The Foot Book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Fox in Socks Dr. Seuss’s ABC Green Eggs and Ham I Can Read With My Eyes Shut Cat in the Hat Longer Dr. Seuss books: The Lorax Horton Hears a Who Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories Did I Ever tell You How Lucky You Are?

    WALKER BOOKS TEACHERS’ NOTES @BIGPictureBooks @BIGPictureBooks £12.99 • Hardback • For Ages 4+ • ISBN 9781406395570 @burstofbeaden walker.co.uk WALKER BOOKS TEACHERS’ NOTES THE ROCK FROM THE SKY BY JON KLASSEN These notes have been written by the teachers at the CLPE to provide schools with ideas to develop comprehension and cross-curricular activities around this text at school or in the home environment. They build on our work supporting teachers to use picture books to enhance critical thinking and develop creative approaches in art and writing. They encourage a deep reading of and reflection on the text, which may happen over a series of reading sessions, rather than in just one sitting. We hope you find them useful. These notes have been written with children aged 5-9 in mind. However, this is a sophisticated picture book which has scope for it to be interpreted in different ways with pupils of different ages. It is important that you use your knowledge of the children you are working with to select questions and activities from those suggested that are most appropriate and that best suit their age and emotional maturity. INTRODUCING THE TEXT: . Share the front cover of the book with the children, and encourage them to focus on the illustration of the characters, before revealing the title. Who or what are these characters? What do you think you know about them? What might have brought them together? What do you think they might be thinking about at this point? You could encourage the children to write some of these ideas in thought bubbles around a copy of the illustration.
