Cereal Box Book Report

I thought I would post a picture of the cereal box book report that I shared at the Elementary Library Meeting. Aside from decorating the front like the cover of the book, include "nutritional information" such as the genre, and a little about the characters and setting. Make sure to also give a brief description of the book, or a page or two from the book that would grab the readers attention. 

What smells @ Orchard?

This week @ Orchard we read "My Dog is as Smelly as Dirty Socks: And Other Funny Family Portraits" by Hanoch Piven. In the book a little girl uses objects to make collages of her family; including the dog Schmutz who is as smelly as dirty socks (a dirty sock becomes an ear in his collage). Let students have fun making collages of themselves or their family members. What items would you use to make a collage of you? Check out my collage above - LOL!
