We Can Be the Author!

 

We introduced the concept of a journal this week. We will be "writing" in our journals about once a week. We did an author spotlight and some of our friends got to share their work!

 

 

With St. Patrick's Day coming up on Saturday, we talked about rainbows and Leprechauns.

 

 

 

On Thursday, we read the book The Night Before St. Patrick's Day. Some of the children loved the idea of making a leprechaun trap.

Last week we focused on the works of Mo Willems -

The children love his books!

They made Pigeon, Piggy, and Elephant Puppets.

They learned how to draw Piggie & Pigeon.

Mo has an amazing website with lots of great activities and resources - http://pigeonpresents.com/
