Two of my FAVORITE books to read aloud and spend time on are
Crazy Hair Day (Barry Saltzberg) and Bedhead (Margie Palatini). These books complement each other really well. They have similar settings, themes, and characters. These two boys have some real "bad hair" troubles! It's also picture day in both stories! While
Crazy Hair Day has a ending that shows caring and friendship,
Bedhead just shows how hard it can sometimes be just being a kid! Both stories will bring giggles and empathy from your students! Have you introduced onomatopoeia yet this year? You may want to use Bedhead to do just that! This unit has a great set of activities to work on with partners, in stations, whole class, or independently! I have also included directions for a foldable.
On very special page in the unit deals with the special language created by Margie Palatini's, Bedhead. There is a great page on some of the idioms and phrases from this story. Students have to discuss and then match these phrases from the story! Below is a sample of part of that page.

Glad to be back to the blogging world after finishing my master's degree in October. I am so excited to have time to do what I love!
