Gooney Bird Greene - Read aloud Activities in the Classroom

I must say that I adore Gooney Bird Greene by Lois Lowry!
And my class quadruple adores Gooney.


I just finished reading this to my class last week and this one little story has SO many good teaching points for mini lessons. Plus, Gooney Bird Greene models wonderful story telling!

Here's one teacher's take on all the teaching opportunities for this book.


I've made a packet of activities for Gooney Bird Greene

Take a peek.

  12. I love to read The Amazing World of Stuart. The students love Stuart and all his adventures. I've never read Gooney, but I've always wanted to read it. Maybe that will be my next one to read after Stuart! Thanks for sharing and the opportunity at a giveaway!

  16. I have so many...but one book I love to read is Spoon. It is great for reminding us we all have special talents and not to envy others since they might be envious of us.
