Main Idea Freebie

Last week we read the Laura Numeroff books.  The kiddos just love these books!

We started with If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Take a Mouse to School.  We figured out the Main Ideas together and wrote them on the following recording sheet.

As we went through the week and read more stories the students wrote the main idea independently and then we discussed it.  I was happy to see the students understanding and picking out the main idea.  Click on the main idea worksheets to get a free copy.

This was a great chance to do a compare and contrast of the two stories.  It always amazes me that the students can come up with an idea that I have never thought about yet.  I love seeing how their brain works.

Dr. Seuss Celebration

What fun we had at our Dr. Seuss Celebration last Friday.  Here are few more pics.  We ended our day with our superintendent reading the The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.  It was only fitting since our principal started our week!

The last thing we did was eat cupcakes and red juice.  I had two juice spills that needless to say won't come out even after scrubbing - so I think no red juice next year.

All of you need to check out this new blog I found!  She is amazing!
