If I were to use this book in the classroom, I would follow up with an activity giving students the opportunity to write their own memoirs.

pickAn adorable book!! It is never to early to introduce children to memoirs! My favorite genre!
Memoir of a Goldfish by Devin Scillian is a MF book that won a Wonda Gág Read Aloud Book Award in 2011. This book is so cute and has a heartwarming message. I would definitely use this as a RA in my class, maybe even the first week of school. The book is all about sharing a space with lots of other people. I would Incorporate UDL Strategy 3.4 to help students understand that we are like Goldfish because we are sharing a classroom with each other.
We got goldfish in kindergarten today and enjoyed this hilarious book #teachersoflitsy
pickThis was the cutest little story ❤️
pickToo cute. Have you ever wondered what it was like to be the only goldfish in the tank? What happens when you start getting more, and more, and more. You just want your little bowl all to yourself again ... maybe.
