llama, llama in pajamas...

We really love the llama, llama books. There is something about llama, llama and all his drama that keeps us smiling! If you have not read them yet, they are a "Must Read" for this age group!  On Thursday, October 7, 2011, we joined hundreds of Kindergartners all over the country in hearing the book "llama llama Red Pajama" written by Anna Dewdney. We were trying to help set a new world record. Mrs. Kendryna, our principal came in and read the book to us. We love to help find the rhyming words. After the story, we brainstormed all the different types of pajamas we could think of...blue pajamas, pink, orange, yellow, green, polka-dot, hearts, stripes, plaid, etc. Then we got a llama in pajamas template, some markers and a few crayons and got busy designing pajamas. We are using the pictures we created to make a HUGE class book that we can read and share all year long. Take a look at the fun we had and the wonderful creations we made:

We don't know if we set a world record for the number of students hearing the same book on the same day or not, but we sure had fun trying! ;-)

PS..click here to go to YouTube see and hear the author, Anna Dewdney read llama, llama Red Pajama!

We Love Llama Llama...

We continue to work on listening for rhyming words. Anna Dewdney has written several adorable books about Llama Llama. The books all make great use of rhymes while telling a wonderful story. We just love the way Mama can always calm little Llama Llama down and also reassure him of her love! We borrowed one of the titles from our school library and even borrowed one from another school in our district so we could enjoy them. We are hoping to get our own copies of all the books soon and have them become a permanent part of our classroom library!
