This is I Love to Read Month — and I’m in charge. Since I was sick the last two weeks of January, I didn’t plan much. We are, however, doing a decorate-your-door contest.
Each class has decorated their door to show their favorite book; the judging is today and I will find out tomorrow who has won. The winning classrooms get gift certificates to Target for the teachers, and a popcorn party for the kids.
We did Where The Wild Things Are, obviously. Miss Slinger drew a wonderful Max in the lower right corner, and a few of the children helped her paint the grass and the tree. I sat at the art table and had the children draw wild things. They turned out really well, I thought.
Absolutely beautiful! I hope you win!
That IS a great drawing of Max. I was going to ask where you found such a great door covering. The children made some great “wild things.” I love this book. Good luck!
We didn’t win, alas. The teacher who did win teaches kindergarten, and her class did a really nice job of drawing pictures of the red cow and yellow dog and green duck (and etc.) from I Went Walking. So I didn’t begrudge her the win.
I appreciate that the children made the wild things. Your Max is adorable too. So many times, the children do not get to participate. GOOD JOB.
The “Wild Things” are wildly wonderful.
thanks for the great idea
