Favorite Stuffed Animal

Last week, Mrs. Baker read Twenty Yawns by Jane Smiley and Lauren Castillo, to our class as part of  Global Read Aloud. This is a wonderful story about a little girl on vacation with her family and how her special stuffed animals help her fall back to sleep when she wakes up in the middle of the night. This was something that many of the children could relate to. In addition, Mrs. Marshall taught our class some strategies for calming the body and mind. We were so lucky to have them teach us. As a follow-up each student brought in a favorite stuffed animal. They took turns telling about their stuffed animal and why it was special to them. With guidance they took a picture of their stuffed animal and created a Chatterpix which I then turned into an IMovie.  Enjoy!
