READ ALOUDS FROM FRIENDS

We love read aloud.  Beck shared a fun book called Your Personal Penguin.  Penguins happen to be one of his favorite animals.  This book was about a rather pesky penguin who just wanted to spend some time with his pal and do everything with him.  Sometimes friendship is hard!  Thanks Beck

Ana shared The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog.  We love Mo Willems and it was fun to see how similar these books are to the Elephant and Piggie books we're using as mentor texts right now.  Illustrations and speech bubbles go a long way in conveying emotion and meaning.  So does the size and boldness of text on the page.  Thanks Ana!

Coco shared How to Babysit a Grandma. This book is hilarious because the kids thinks he's babysitting Grandma and not the other way around.  Regardless she has some really good ideas for how to make a day without mom and dad go by fast and maximize fun.  We can't wait to read How to Babysit a Grandpa for more tips and secrets.  Thanks Coco!
