I Wish You More Cookies Than Toast

We read I Wish You More by the amazing Amy Krouse Rosenthal in library last week but I forgot to take pictures to share on my blog.  Each child filled in an I Wish You More paper.   At first they had a little bit of trouble understanding the concept, but I told them to think of things that they really liked and also things that they didn't like that much.  After writing their words, they were supposed to draw a picture.   Here's what they came up with...

I also found an activity guide called, "I Wish You More Supplies" put out by Tom Lichtenheld.  We colored kites and the students had fun doing the matching game.  We tried to make umbrellas but found it a little bit tricky.

    

Here is a picture of the completed bulletin board :)

Tomorrow I will celebrate #MOREforAKR with my library students.  

I have a few books to give away, to pass on the gift of reading :)

We will create a bulletin board after reading I Wish You More.  I will post a picture of that when we finish.  What are you doing to celebrate the life of Amy Krouse Rosenthal?  Let me know!

I Wish You More

Amy Krouse Rosenthal is one of my favorite authors.  Yesterday, in honor of #MOREforAKR, I went to my local bookstore and bought this book...

It was 1 of 3 books by her in the store and it was pre-owned...which made it only $5.37 (I would have paid full price for it though!)

In honor of #MOREforAKR I bought a handful of other books to hand out to some of my library students on Tuesday.  I bought an umbrella stamp and yellow paint so I can put the official Amy Krouse Rosenthal stamp of approval on them.  I plan to pass on the give of reading in honor of her.

This book is on my list for Day 3 of my #bookaday Challenge.  It is simple yet very powerful.  I plan to read it in library on Tuesday and hope that my students enjoy it as much as I did.  

On a side note, my son has discovered a new series that he loves (he read 3 chapter books today) and would like to start a blog of his own.  Stay tuned for more information ;)
