I love this book and have had fun with it as a beginning of the year activity changing the title to “We Are Scholars”. I had the whole class think of main ideas that scholars are characterized by, then let table groups each take one main idea and add details. Here is a copy of their story:
We Are Scholars
by Mrs. Stelle’s fourth graders 2004
We are scholars.
Scholars are readers. Readers learn a lot from reading. Readers read a lot of different kinds of books. Readers don’t skip hard words. Readers read hard words. That’s what readers do, we are readers.
Scholars are always learning. Scholars don’t waste time. Scholars experience different places. Scholars read more that one kind of book. That’s what we do, we are always learning.
Scholars are focused and in control. A scholar listens to the teacher. Focused and in control people do their homework every night. Scholars turn off the TV when they do their homework. We are all in control. That’s what we do, we are focused and in control.
Scholars are writers. Writers don’t waste time. Writers like to write about books. Writers write about resources. That’s what we do, we are writers.
Scholars are problem solvers. The solve writing and math problems. Problem solvers are good readers. Problem solvers are good at solving mysteries. That’s what we do, we are problem solvers.
We are readers.
We are always learning
We are focused and in control.
We are writers.
We are problem solvers.
