It has been so much fun with the book fair and Read Across America week! The kids have really discovered the importance of reading. One of our teachers uses the slogan, “Sit, Stick, and Read,” which the students have really latched onto. I love seeing so many wonderful and engaged readers!
With the book fair at Gracemor this week, I had the opportunity to look through some new and exciting books to read. One of my favorite new books is, The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. The kindergarteners LOVED this book! This book explores an imaginative world where crayons have feelings and they are fed up with their owner, Duncan!
Blue is overused so he is much too little, beige is tired of being second best to brown, pink never gets used and is much too tall, and orange and yellow are in a feud about which color the sun should be. By the end of this book, the students were rolling on the floor with laughter.

After I read this book to the class, it was time to put their new crayon perspective to use! I found this really adorable worksheet from PeaceLoveLearning.blogspot.com. The kids were so creative with this activity! Below are a few examples:
This was such a fun lesson that I look forward to doing again. I think that all elementary age levels would like this book! Have a great weekend :)
