This week we started an author study on one of my favorite authors, Robert Munsch. We have been reading his books, listening to him read the books (via his awesome website), and doing different activities related to the books. Today we listened to the book, Mmm, Cookies! We used this book to talk about and practice writing book reviews. The students will be writing a book review of their favorite Robert Munsch book next week. There will be more to come about that later. :) In the book Mmm, Cookies!, the main character, Christopher, finds play clay and makes "cookies" out of it. Then he tries to trick his family and friends into eating his play clay cookies. As a nice reward (and break) from all the writing the kids did today on their book reviews, we made our own play clay cookies. Here are some pictures of the kids and their play clay cookies.
Ask your child about the interesting conversation we had about why Mr. Munsch, the author, used the term play clay instead of play dough in his book.
