In 4-K this spring we’ve been doing a series of author studies. You’ve already read about our Dr. Seuss celebration. The net author we chose to feature was a class favorite: Mo Willems.
Mo Willems is the author of the Pigeon books, the Elephant and Piggy series, and Knuffle Bunny. Throughout the school year we have been reading these favorites again and again in our classroom. We just love how much the children enjoy these stories! I know many of you have started your own Mo Willems collections at home as well. What a great way to inspire your children to love reading!
During our author study of Mo Willems we re-read many of our favorites and even a brand new book. Big Frog Can’t Fit In, a pop out story with a frog that can’t fit inside the book until she gets a little help from her friends.
We drew pictures of the pigeon and wrote a note to the author, suggesting new ideas for future Pigeon adventures. We shared our own stuffed animals just like Trixie in Knuffle Bunny Too. Luckily, we all went home with the right ones.
We even had a hot dog party just like the pigeon dreams about in Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late. We all wore our Pajamas and had a special lunch of hot dogs, chips, and rainbow punch. What a fun time!
