As we inch closer to the end of school and the children inch closer to becoming hooligans sometimes I have to pull out the extra-engaging happy read alouds to keep lending happiness! This week I have been having fun sharing two Usborne books Nibbles the Book Monster and Nibbles the Dinosaur Guide by Emma Yarlett. I love introducing my Kindergartners to Nibbles. They study fairy tales and we have fun reviewing what actually happened before Nibbles messed up the story.
My first and second graders I introduced to Nibbles last year, but they hadn't seen the second book where Nibbles takes on the dinosaurs! We had fun talking about how facts can be shared even in made up stories. Sharing read alouds is one of my favorite things to do and I believe it really helps introduce students to new authors and new books they might not have picked up on their own.
I kept it simple with offering book marks to color after the story and check out this week. I love the coloring book marks that you can get in different seasons from Demco! The kids were feeling happy and creative after our read aloud and decided to make them look like Nibbles had been nibbling on them by cutting out bites of their book marks to really make them original!
