I saw this idea over the summer on Pinterest. I made it and was super excited about it. Well I put it in a safe place...so safe that I forgot about it until this week! Don't you hate when you do that.
Anyways...I used it on our current story Lon Po Po. I didn't want to have the students write on the poster with dry erase markers or use sticky notes, so I cut paper to fit the poster.
I wrote the title on a strip. As a class we discussed the theme. I had 5 strips left. I have my students sitting in 4 groups of 5, so I gave each group one strip and they had to answer it. Then they had to decorate it to match the story.
Here is the final product.
Didn't it turn out cute? Now I have to go hunt down other things I made this summer that I put into that safe place!
And don't forget about my giveaway. It ends Sunday. Click on the picture to go directly there.
What a cute idea! I may need to do that later next week when we finish our read aloud. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. I need a reminder like this in my reading nook because I sometimes get so focused on our skill for the week or so excited about a book that I forget to talk about all the story elements. I think I may add this one to my to-do list.
