Recreating My Favorite Photo

My future classroom is going to be focused on reading. I really don't want a "Jungle" or "Owl" theme I just want my students to read, read, read and learn to love it! My favorite picture of my cat, Biebs was taken on Instagram and I would love to blow it up but it would get too blurry. I tried recreating my favorite picture but this time, I used Children's Literature (my favorite). The pictures are alright. Maybe they'll be better in black and white. The ones of Maci and her wonky face crack me up! 

Happy Birthday!!

 

Tickle Monster!

My last day with the girls was Friday. :-( They love reading and I am obsessed with children's literature so I thought I'd share with them one of my favorite books. They loved it and we read it four times before nap and then six times after nap. I'd say this book will be in the nightly rotation for awhile! ;-)

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Back in the spring, I was planning to do a read aloud. I decided to use one of my favorite books, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I didn't want to just read a book, I wanted a fun activity too and thanks to Pinterest, I found this.

Ideas for my student example:

I wish it would rain Kit- Kats because I already own two kitty cats.

I wish it would rain Strawberries because I love them berry much.

I wish it would rain Snickers because then you could snicker at all my jokes. 

(Insert uncontrollable laughter) C'mon, this stuffs gold!!

I ended up going with the Strawberry one because I knew the 2nd graders would get that one however, I love the other two because they are so much more original.
