As a part of "I Love to Read" month each classroom is decorating their door to show a favorite book. While we have many favorites, this is our favorite from what we have read lately.
The Day the Crayons Came Home is a sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit. In The Day the Crayons Came Home they crayons have been left all over the house and outside the house and want to get back home to the boy who owns them. They each write postcards to him telling him where they are and what they would like in order to get back home.
In the spirit of the crayons in the book, each student wrote a postcard from the perspective of a crayon. They included where they are, how they got there and what they need to get back to the little boy. Many students added funny comments to their postcard in order to sound more like the crayon. Students also created a picture for their postcard that clearly showed where they are and showed perspective, i.e. at the bottom of the pool you would see legs and feet above you.
This was lots of fun for the students! They were very creative in their postcard and picture.
