Over the past few days we have been reading the book Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell. The story begins with a letter to the zoo asking for a pet, this results in a succession being dispatched - all of them containing highly unsuitable pets!
Day 1 - Our early literacy teacher introduced the story to the class through an engaging felt board story. Students had to predict what animal would be in the box. We decided this was a fun story and we wanted to be authors and re-create a class version of Dear Zoo!
Day 2- We re-read the story together and discussed the adjectives that were used to DESCRIBE why they had to send the animal back. Students did a think-pair-share and came up with their zoo animal.
Day 3 - Today we all read the story together and came up with a word to describe the zoo animal we had selected. Below are some of the students working hard on writing and illustrating their page in our book.
Stay tuned... the authors have a bit more work to do before our class book will be finished!
