Recently during our readers workshop, we read the book, Under the Lemon Moon. In this fictional text, the protagonist Rosalinda is awakened one night to discover a man stealing lemons from her beloved lemon tree. After the theft, the tree begins to die. Rosalinda seeks advice from friends and family as to how she can heal her tree. Rosalinda learns a lesson of forgiveness and generosity, from La Anciana, while healing her tree.
Sour Grade 1 and 2 students were asked to make text-to-self connections and identify the author’s message during the read aloud. After the read aloud, our students created a visual reflection that portrayed their connections and what they identified as the author’s message.
Please watch the video below to hear one of our student’s reflections for the book Under the Lemon Moon. Your child’s reflection can be seen on Easyblog.
