A Bad Case of Stripes on a Pumpkin!

Today we painted our pumpkins that will be on display next week for the Literary Pumpkin Festival. We based them on the main character, Camila Cream, who was afraid to be herself and eat lima beans. She thought her friends would make fun of her. Soon she broke out in stripes and other distracting designs. We learned that our true friends will appreciate us for who we are and we shouldn't worry about what others will think. If you haven't read A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon we think you should!

Comparing and Contrasting

We've recently read two books by David Wiesner, Tuesday and Sector 7. As we were reading we noticed some things that were similar and decided to create a Venn-Diagram to identify them. We also created contrast by writing down some of the differences in the two books.

Next we chose a book from our independent reading bag and met with a partner to compare and contrast our books. We made a Venn-Diagram in our reading journals and discussed similarities and differences in our picture books.
