Cool+Ali

=//Cool Ali// by Nancy Poydor=

//Rainy Day Pictures////: Using highlighter tape, students choose 10 words in the story. They then write an antonym for each word on a sticky note.//
==//Very Cool Rain////: Compare this book to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. What type of weather would you like to fall from the sky? Draw a picture and write about// //__your__// //“very cool rain.”//== ==//Secrets from a Cave////: Create your own cave painting! On the back of your drawing, write a few descriptive sentences about the story behind your picture. Share with a friend and see if they can “read” your picture story!//==

//__After Read Aloud:__//
==*Take students outside with sidewalk chalk (weather permitting: rainy weather could be illustrating on bulletin board paper) to illustrate their favorite drawing or part of the story (or something that makes them feel cool/connection to the story).==
