As part of our author study, student chose a favorite Robert Munsch book!  After "Reading To Someone", the students worked independently to tell about their favorite part of the story and why it was their favorite part.  They also wrote about the connections they made to the favorite part.  Since we completed this literacy project on a "Fun Friday", my readers and writers "munched" on popcorn during this Snack and Share activity!

  3. I am working on a Bunch of Munsch unit (well slideshow with student samples, as well as, some ideas of what my class did as we studied Munsch.) I hope to be finished with the unit tomorrow and begin Seuss on his birthday on Wed. The Munsch stuff will be posted by end of the week--hopefully.
