Q1: Based on the clues the author gives and the illustrations, where do you think this story takes place? #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:12 PM EDT

A1: We think the story takes place in the countryside because she passes by a pond & you don’t see any big buildings #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:12 PM EDT

Welcome! We are so glad you joined! #4thbookchat Questions ready to come up soon!

A1 We think it must be in a northern state because there is snow and a frozen pond. #4thbookchat

MrsEick4thGrade Mar 22 @ 2:14 PM EDT

A1: We agree with @rader4thgrade that the story is in the country #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:15 PM EDT

Q2: Would the way that Chloe and her friends treat Maya be considered bulling? Explain why or why not? #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:15 PM EDT

@hammanclass @Rm310BES thought it might be Vermont because we noticed the snow too! #4thbookchat

In reply to @hammanclass, @hammanclass, @Rm310BES

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:15 PM EDT

A1: We agree, because we don't much/any snow here in NC #4thbookchat

Rm310BES Mar 22 @ 2:15 PM EDT

A1: We think the countryside too! #4thbookchat

We are excited! This is our first chat. We are from Iowa. Where is everyone from? #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:16 PM EDT

Yes this could be bullying because she has been called names, made fun of her personal items & been ignored repeatedly #4thbookchat

Rm310BES Mar 22 @ 2:16 PM EDT

A2: Brenna & Rachel think it is because the behavior has been repeated. #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:16 PM EDT

We have snow still on the ground from this week. #4thbookchat Unusual for March!

In reply to @rader4thgrade

JennRegruth Mar 22 @ 2:17 PM EDT

A2: We think it's the standby type of bullying. Standing and watching it happen is contributing to the bulleying. #4thbookchat @ncarroll24

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:18 PM EDT

Q3: What attempts does Maya make to reach out to be friends with girls. How do Chloe &her friends respond to the attempts? #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:18 PM EDT

A3a: She tried to smile, show them her toys, asked to play at recess, show her fancy clothes #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:18 PM EDT

@Rm310BES learned about Standby Bullying from our Guidance counselor Max reminded us! #4thbookchat

In reply to @JennRegruth, @Rm310BES

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:18 PM EDT

A3b: Chloe & her friends laugh at her, they ignore her, or make fun of her toys. When Maya asks anything, the answer is “no” #4thbookchat

MrsEick4thGrade Mar 22 @ 2:19 PM EDT

A2: Debate in our class, Most the class says yes it is bullying, because they repeatedly hurt her feelings. #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:19 PM EDT

Are you near a desert? #4thbookchat

In reply to @hammanclass, @Rm310BES

hammanclass Mar 22 @ 2:19 PM EDT

A2 Some of us thought no because they weren't calling her names. Some thought excluding counted as bullying #4thbookchat

Rm310BES Mar 22 @ 2:20 PM EDT

Yes!@rader4thgrade class. I. Jack wonders does anyone play pick up sticks at your school. We don't have them here. #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:21 PM EDT

Q4: How do you think Maya felt when she heard Chloe say "She's not my friend" to Andrew? What could Chloe have said instead? #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:21 PM EDT

@Rm310BES Not at school YET, but several say they play at home. I'm sure they (Lisa) will bring them to class tomorrow! #4thbookchat

mft001_brand Mar 22 @ 2:21 PM EDT

We are ready to begin! A1: We think Each Kindness took place in Texas #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:21 PM EDT

A4a: Maya probably felt depressed or distraught because she was trying to become friends and they still didn’t appreciate her #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:22 PM EDT

A4b: Chloe could have simply ignored what Andrew said. #4thbookchat

Rm310BES Mar 22 @ 2:22 PM EDT

@hammanclass They do call Maya names: "Never New" because she has old clothes. #4thbookchat

In reply to @hammanclass

JennRegruth Mar 22 @ 2:22 PM EDT

A4: she should have said she's not my friend...YET!! @ncarroll24 #4thbookchat

In reply to @ncarroll24

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:23 PM EDT

Q5: Is it Maya’s fault that she's can't afford brand new clothes? Is that any reason for the girls not to befriend her? WHY? #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:23 PM EDT

A5a: It is NOT Maya’s fault that she can’t have new clothes. Clothing you wear SHOULD NOT matter. Clothes DO NOT make a person #4thbookchat

ncarroll24 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:23 PM EDT

@Rm310BES Wonders "why?" Texas? #4thbookchat

In reply to @mft001_brand, @Rm310BES

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:23 PM EDT

A5b: Maya has done nothing to the Chloe and her friends. They should be nice to one another and include everyone #4thbookchat

hammanclass Mar 22 @ 2:23 PM EDT

A4 Chloe should have ignored Andrew or told him to be quiet #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:23 PM EDT

@ncarroll24 We were wondering that too #4thbookchat

In reply to @ncarroll24, @mft001_brand, @Rm310BES, @ncarroll24

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:23 PM EDT

@hammanclass We thought the same thing! #4thbookchat

In reply to @hammanclass, @hammanclass

Rm310BES Mar 22 @ 2:24 PM EDT

A4a. She probably thinks Chloe doesn't like her and she's not going bother anymore. #4thbookchat (from Will)

Rm310BES Mar 22 @ 2:25 PM EDT

A4b. Chloe could have said "I am her friend & she's a nice person". Lots of other ideas along the same lines. #4thbookchat

hammanclass Mar 22 @ 2:25 PM EDT

Interesting! We thought they didn't call her that to her face, Maybe they did! #4thbookchat

Q6: Chloe cannot think of one nice thing she's done.What are some ways you've shown kindness at school/home this week? #4thbookchat

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:26 PM EDT

A6a: School: respect others, listen to others ideas, encouraging others to do their best, include others in activities #4thbookchat

mft001_brand Mar 22 @ 2:26 PM EDT

This is true for us! Personality is what matters. #4thbookchat

In reply to @rader4thgrade

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:26 PM EDT

A6b: Home: help feed the pets, get along with siblings, help around the house, respect your parents, say “I love you” #4thbookchat

hammanclass Mar 22 @ 2:26 PM EDT

We agree with that! #4thbookchat

In reply to @rader4thgrade

In reply to @JennRegruth, @ncarroll24

rader4thgrade - Moderator Mar 22 @ 2:29 PM EDT

A7: When you do things good or bad, it can spread to others. Others can follow your good example and positive things can happen #4thbookchat

MrsEick4thGrade Mar 22 @ 2:30 PM EDT

A7: She means each thing you say spreads out in the world, if you are nice then someone else will be nice and it will grow #4thbookchat

Rm310BES Mar 22 @ 2:30 PM EDT

A6: We helped cook dinner, carry & pack groceries, helped classmates w/ math, held door for stranger. #4thbookchat

mft001_brand Mar 22 @ 2:33 PM EDT

We didn't think they said that in front of her. They mainly said it behind her back. #4thbookchat

In reply to @hammanclass, @Rm310BES

hammanclass Mar 22 @ 2:33 PM EDT

A8 We thought the ending was surprising! Sometimes you don't get a second chance so you need to be nice to everyone #4thbookchat
