Bunnicula

This book is awesome!  It's a big hit with my kiddos every Halloween!  It is just spooky enough to be appropriate for elementary students.  The family dog, Harold, narrates the story. While the family cat, Chester, entertains readers with his eccentric behavior.  Chester is definitely one of my most favorite literary characters because of the humor he brings to the plot.  The story is about a family that brings home a bunny from a Dracula movie.  Chester believes the bunny to be a dangerous vampire and sets out to prove his theory.  In the end, Harold asks readers to decide.  Is he or isn't he a vampire?

We decorated pumpkins for Halloween and our Bunnicula turned out so cute!

  

The students loved creating a storyboard of the book as we read Bunnicula!

Donovan's Word Jar

I love this book by Monalisa Degross!  Donovan is a little boy that loves collecting words.  He has a problem when his word jar is full and calls on his family to help him find a solution.  This is a heart warming story about about how a little boy's love of words help others.

My students loved turning our door into a giant word jar during Literacy Week at our school!
