Here is a YouTube video of this book being read
This is a great book for inferencing! We did an inferencing activity today-
My second graders got to do something I bet they NEVER thought they would be able to do! They got to go through my purse!!!!!!!!!!!! We made a chart titled:
What's in Mrs. Lawson's Bag?
(and more importantly, what does it all mean???????????)
I found this idea on Pinterest & it isn't new but it is soooooooooooo powerful for teaching inferencing! Students really understand the evidence and reasonableness of their inferences after this activity. I am looking forward to our animal inferencing activity tomorrow!
Pictures to come! :)
Next week we will be reading Puddle Jumper- How A Toy is Made by Ann Morris who is also the author of How Teddy Bears Are Made
.
In Puddle Jumper, Sarah's father doesn't go to an office or factory to work. He designs and builds wooden toys in a workshop near their home, and sometimes he lets Sarah help. This text takes children through the process of inventing a new toy-from design to assembly to the best part of all, trying it out.
