FMS Book Bugs

Hi Class,

We have just looked at a few wordless picture books by David Wiesner. I like his ability to  imagine strange and fantastic situations.  What is the purpose of a wordless picture book?

I liked reading and hearing your stories that you all wrote to go with the wordless picture books.  It was exciting to see how creative you could be with just a few pictures or even with a longer book. I like to see how well the artist and the author combine their talents to create a story. The picture can make the story even better.

What kind of picture books do you like? Did your parents read picture books to you when you were little? Which ones were your favorites then? What is the best part of a picture book?

Many of us were fortunate to hear Mr. Ed Rice speak at our library Wednesday.  He spoke with us about baseball. He told us about Louis Sockalexis who was the first Native American to play in Major League Baseball.  He had a terrific throwing arm; he played outfield because he could throw very far and very fast.

I enjoyed hearing Mr. Rice and hope that you did too. Can you tell me about your favorite baseball player? If you don’t like baseball, what sport do you like and why? Who would you like to have come to talk with us at school? Why?
