This week in library at Burton Elementary, we were reading "50 Below Zero" by Robert Munsch. With the cold weather outside, I thought it would be a fun winter story to read. Like many of Robert Munsch's stories, it's got a pretty silly and humorous premise, and features a lot of repetition. Jason's father is a sleepwalker who keeps wandering the house at night in his sleep, and ends up wandering out into the woods and getting frozen like an ice cube, requiring Jason to save the day (or night, rather). You can find a recording of the author (Robert Munsch) reading the story out loud on YouTube, to hear how he inflects his voice & the frenetic energy he puts into the story. You don't have to read it exactly like he does, but it's neat to get a look inside the author's head to hear how they read & think about the story. You can ask students after the story if they've ever sleepwalked or know anyone who has sleepwalked, and you will probably end up hearing some pretty funny stories.
Esta semana en la biblioteca de Burton, leímos "50 Grados Bajo Cero" por Robert Munsch. No tenemos la edición en español, y entonces necesité traducirlo. Espero que hice un buen trabajo. En este cuento chistoso, el niño Jason se necesita rescatar su papá sonámbulo, que deambula fuera en la noche más frío del invierno. ¿Qué va a hacer Jason cuando su papi está congelado como un cubito de hielo? ¡Leamos hasta el fin para descubrir! Se puede preguntar a los estudiantes si conocen unos sonámbulos, y es probable que usted escuche algunos cuentos divertidos.
¡Feliz lectura! / Happy Reading!
