If you have suggestions for improving this guide or would like to tell us about ways you have used The Rainbow Fish or any of our other books in your classroom we would like to hear from you. Please send e-mail to Teacher's Comments . Ask students to draw as many fish as the number written on their paper. Call out a number and ask the children who have drawn that many fish to stand. Have students bring their drawings to the front of the classroom to illustrate the equations.
Children can swap papers to practice using different numbers.
Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy is a book about the lives of brave historical figures. Define biography for the class. Ask students to bring in photographs or draw pictures of people who they feel have courage. Have each child write a sentence or a short biography about his or her person. Draw the outline of this creepy creature on an easel or blackboard.
