Crankenstein by Samantha Berger is a funny story that is basically how when things don't go kids' ways then they turn into Crankensteins. He's a Crankenstein getting up in the morning, when the syrup is all gone for his pancakes, heading to school, sun melts his popsicle, too cold on Halloween... He's upset about a broken toy when he notices a girl Crankenstein for the same reason. They see each other and start to laugh which turns them back into themselves and then they go off to play. We made a lot of connections to ourselves with the character in the book. We also worked on sequencing with beginning, middle, end. We also talked about Shades of Meaning and how different words that mean almost the same thing (synonyms) can get amped up: sickened, disgusted, nauseated. We talked about using a Thesaurus to help amp up words in their writing. We also started learning about irregular plural nouns (mouse - mice, child - children, sheep - sheep)
