Measurement and Mo Willems!

This week we have been working on measurement and all things Mo Willems!  We started making a chart of the different craft choices Mo Willems uses in his books.  We discussed how authors and illustrators make choices about how they want to tell or show the reader information.  Mo Willems does a lot of different things in his books such as add speech bubbles, thought bubbles, big bold words, or draw multiple characters or body parts to show movement. We've also had fun making Piggie and Elephant puppets and measuring our friends and items in the classroom using cubes and strips of paper.
