For the last few years it has been a Orchard K tradition to dive into the humor and friendship inspired antics of Mo Willem's Gerald and Piggie books after the Feb/Mar break. This year was no exception. All four classes put their sight word knowledge and decoding skills to work as they read and laughed along with story after story. Over the last two weeks we've used the books as models for how to read and write with expression. We also talked about important main ideas/author's message. It seems Mo REALLY wants children to know that: having friends is fun, it's important to keep trying, it's okay to ask for help, and reading can make you laugh! Take a look at all the ways we celebrated these stories- including a parade!
