Elephant and Piggie love the library,
and so does the first grade!
As a culminating activity for our unit on taking care of books and library procedures, my first grade classes created a book featuring two of our favorite characters: Elephant and Piggie from the stories by Mo Willems!
I have an Elephant and Piggie poster that has been hanging in the library, and it occurred to me that the illustrations could be used in a book. The students worked in pairs to write their own words to go with each picture.
We spent a lot of time talking about the different punctuation marks that could go at the end of each sentence and how that would change how the words would be read aloud. Then, when all of the groups were finished, each pair stood up in front of the class to "perform" their work for the class. They were so proud!
Here are some of the pages from our book. You can click on any picture to make it bigger. Enjoy!
