Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! It's brand new and a work in progress, but I am excited to begin sharing some of the fun and interesting things going on in our class.

Today we started a Mo Willems author study. We've read many of his stories and are focusing on one of our favorite series involving a certain pigeon! The Pigeon books are great examples of persuasive writing since the Pigeon is usually begging for the readers permission to do something through his hilarious rationale and logic.

Today we began making our very own versions of The Pigeon Books. The students worked in groups of four to brainstorm ideas and create a story board. Tomorrow we are starting the books. Here's this first story board...I love it!
