Words and Actions in our Books

Dear Grade 4’s,

In class we have had a lot of discussion about how words and actions affect us. We have looked at how positive words and actions lead to positive feelings and how negative words and actions lead to negative feelings. We have drawn upon our personal experiences and the experiences of characters in books we have read such as “ish” by Peter Reynolds and “Thank you Mr. Falker” by Patricia Pollacco. In our lives and in both books we have seen the power of words and actions. Can you think of any books you have read or are reading where the emotions of the characters were affected by the words and actions of others? Try to make a connection with the character and think of how you would feel if the same thing happened to you. Can’t wait to hear about what you are reading…
