Author Study - Kevin Henkes

We had a fabulous celebration of Kevin Henkes last week. The students came in very excited dressed as their favorite characters. We had Lilly, Wilson, Chester, Wemberly and many other great characters in our room. The student spent the day making mouse ears, completing fun activities and eating cheesy snacks with other 1st grade classes.

Eric Carle Celebration Day

We love learning about Eric Carle as an author. The students had so much fun reading a new book everyday. They soon began to compare his books, make noticing, write responses and try their own hand at writing like him. At the end of our study we had a celebration to honor his work. Some of the students dressed as their favorite character from one of his books. We also made art work, ate pancakes, played Eric Carle Bingo and played charades. It was a fun day!
