EDRG-3321 M&W Author/Presentations Day 2

The Presentations so far have been great!! Everyone is doing a wonderful job and I have really enjoyed them. The group that did the book The Empty Pot did a wonderful job. I really liked the book and the moral behind the story. I also liked their activity where they had us write in the empty pot. That was a great lesson and I think kids would love it!

The other group that went was my group and we did Pink and Say. Other than talk about how great ours was :) j/k I just want to say that I really learned a lot from this project and enjoyed working with my group!! It was fun and educational!




The book I picked for this week is P is for Pinata:A Mexican Alphabet. It's a culture letter book. The book goes though the alphabet giving you different examples of something from the Mexican culture. This book is a fun way to teach a different culture to your students and to teach them new words from a different culture. The author for this book is Tony Johnston. She has other culture books and many children's books. She has also been a 4th grade teacher for years. Go check out her web site to see more of her books at www.jacketflap.com and then search Tony Johnston. Hope y'all enjoy! :)
