To celebrate Children's Book Week and Poetry Month, the 7th and 8th graders remixed their favorite children's picture books into rhymes and raps. Some added a beat to the text, some rewrote prose and made it into verse, some took their favorite lines and remixed them. It was great fun!
Our inspiration for this lesson was Ludacris reading Llama Llama Red Pajama and OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO for Kwame Alexander's THE PLAYBOOK (with Music by Randy Preston)
Younger students read their favorite children's books and received a poster with various activities. Our read aloud for storytime was a new favorite, Life on Mars by Jon Agee.
Thank you
We are so grateful for generous and caring people in our community! Here's a little video that the kids and I made to spread the word and to thank our book donors.

november is picture book month
|
I love picture books! They're for everybody! Picture Book Month is an international literacy initiative that celebrates the print picture book during the month of November.
Every day in November, on the Picture Book Month website, there is a new post from a picture book champion explaining why he/she thinks picture books are important. In this digital age where people are predicting the coming death of print books, picture books (the print kind) need love. And the world needs picture books. There’s nothing like the physical page turn of a beautifully crafted picture book. Join the celebration and party with a picture book! November is Picture Book Month. Read * Share * Celebrate! |
