Books to Inspire Creativity and Writing
The students enjoyed reading Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert and discovering all the different leaf characters in the book. After reading the book, the students created and wrote about their own leaf characters.After reading Windblown, the students played around with their own scraps of paper. Everyone used their scraps of paper differently.After reading, It's Not a Box, the students were given a sheet of paper with a box on it. Students were asked to use their imagination to create anything they would like out of the box and write about it. For example: "It's not a box, it's a rocket". "It's not a box, it's a train"." It's not a box, it's a Nixon". Sorting objects by beginning letter sounds is a fun and playful way to reinforce letters and letter sounds. Students are collaborating and cooperating to build their very own alphabet! Students visit the Listening Center to listen to The Three Snow Bears. Students use pointers to track print as they read the charts, signs, poems, etc around the room.
