Little Boo was a good choice because it incorporates Halloween and the life cycle of a pumpkin. The bottom picture shows the set up of the StoryWalk. The streamers connected the pictures like a pumpkin vine and I had hoped to add leaves and flowers. But it didn’t stay like that. The tape we have to use on the walls isn’t strong enough to hold the laminate pictures. After the first day the pictures had fallen a few times and needed to be reposted with more tape. Finally they stayed.
The StoryWalk was enjoyed by several classes and peaked the interest of others as they walked to and from gym and music.
Our big buddies read the story to us, enjoying the pictures and modeling how to follow the words. I was told that the kindergarteners and their big buddies read it too.
I caught this grade 2/3 class taking turns reading each page.
Another time I heard our principal reading it to a student.
He was able to read the word “Boo” each time.
Love this idea. Thanks Maureen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. It also seems to be a way to welcome and connect people throughout the building. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteIt does and it did. Especially connecting children as they passed on their way outside for recess. I also had a parent tell me that her and her little read it while they waited to pick up their older child.
DeleteI love this idea!!! Thank you!!!
