I'm SOOO excited to be part of this wonderful Book Tour by Kathleen Wainwright. She is a wonderful author for little ones. I was honored to be able to preview her latest book, Ziggie Tales: Ziggie's Big Adventure. I fell in love with this humorous chapter book. This is the perfect book to kick start your little ones' love of reading chapter books.
Are you thinking about owning a classroom pet? Are you scared that it
might be too much responsibility on top of all the other things you
have to do in the classroom? Why not make the decision as a group? The
book gives details on how Marley (the sweet, lovable, quirky main
character) decided on the perfect pet for her and her family. Marley
took the time to research different animals. She consulted with her best
friend, Layla (the brainy, level-headed character) as to which animal
its her the best. This book would be a perfect way to show your little
ones how to choose the perfect class pet. Make this task a fun one (that
you might be able to get a grade out of) by having groups of students
research an animal they would want as a class pet. The group can put
together a poster or other creative product to persuade the rest of the
class to choose their animal.
I can honestly say that
having a classroom pet is one of the best experiences I've had with my
little ones. It taught them how to be responsible and how to show
compassion. It helped bring out smiles of my toughest students.
