My coworker, Jen, and I hosted an auction event at school this afternoon- an Elephant and Piggie Party! Mo Willems, who writes many fantastic books, has a series for young readers that the kids in our class absolutely adore, called Elephant and Piggie. We began by reading Should I Share My Ice Cream... ... and then we ate ice cream sundaes. Then, we made Gerald and Piggie hand puppets from paper bags. (I will scan and attach these templates as PDF's once I figure out how to do that, for anyone who might want to reproduce them...) After, we read Are You Ready to Play Outside? And then we played some games outside! We came back in and read I Will Surprise My Friend! And then we made surprise flower bouquets to give to a friend. To end the afternoon, we read We Are in a Book! and then gave the children a banana to take home. Seems random, I know- if you want to know about the banana, read We Are in a Book! It's hilarious. We had a great time, and we think the kids did too!

Slice of Life Challenge: Day two! My students and I have been studying Mo Willems during the month of February. We have really enjoyed reading about our new friends: Elephant and Piggy, Pigeon, Knuffle Bunny and Trixie, Amanda and her Alligator, Leonardo, Edwina, the whole gang! Each day as I finish reading a new story or an old favorite I ask my students, "What did you notice today?" And each day I am blown away by the insightful answers that I hear. Now that we have read all the Mo Willems books that our school library owns (time to make a trip to the local city library now!), we are looking at his books as writers. Again, when I ask the kids what they notice, they amaze me! With all the great ideas and wonderful things they are noticing...it was time for a chart. Last week we took all the great things we had learned from Mo and turned it into a chart for our wall. My students have not only begun to point out the things we learned from Mo in other books, but they have also started trying to include them in their own writing! I have been a fan of author studies for a while now, but the power of the author study this year has reached new levels! I can't wait to see what happens next!
