2.    I miss reading Elephant and Piggie books to you all. I know these books are one of our class favorites. Click on the link and listen to the story Can I play too.

After you listen to the story, mute it and try reading along. You can choose to be Elephant or Piggie and ask your parent to be the other when reading.

In the story, the pair meet a new friend a snake. Gerald and Piggie are happy to include their new friend in their game of catch, but there’s one problem snakes don’t have arms! If the author Mo Willems had to create a brand-new character to be friends with Elephant and Piggie, who would it be? Would the new friends be an animal or human? What adventures do you think the three friends would go on together? What kinds of trouble might they get into?

Once you have decided on the new character, draw your picture of the three new friends on an adventure. Think about where is the adventure? What will happen? Who will they meet? Will there be a problem? How will they solve the problem?

Kindergarten parents please write the story down for your child. Grade one parents please support your child in writing a short story. Remind your child to check for periods, capitals, spacing between the words and to sound out any tricky words. Please take picture of your story and drawings and email them. I am very excited to see who the new character will be!
