Picture Prompts

Below are 3 pictures that I have posted.
1. "Where am I going to sit?" Sam and Gracie taking up the WHOLE couch
2. Gracie with her cow
3. Mr. and Mrs. P. at the World Baseball Classic

I want you to choose one of the three pictures and create/type a short story to go along with it. It can be silly, sad, serious, or anything you want it to be. Must be school appropriate. I would love to see how many of my friends can WOW me! I am always up for a little bit of Sizzle in writing.

Holy Macaroni!

I have just discovered a new and exciting way to mix school and game time together.
Click on the link below and it will take you to friv.com At this site I want you to click on the tile that has a light bulb in it. The game is called "Electric Box". Go for the gold!
Once you are done playing the game come on back and tell me a little about it.
1. What game did you play?(hint hint....the name is above)
2. What did you do in the game?
3. Was it fun? Why?
4. Was it hard? Why?
5. Do you think you learned about Math, English, Science, or History? Or maybe none of them. Tell me what you think.

Getting to Know Jan Brett

Howdie Friends!
This month's author of the month is going to be Jan Brett. Before we begin reading her books in class I want you to go to her site by clicking on the link below and find out a little bit about her. Tell me some of the things that you found that you have in common with her. For example:
I know that I too like Jan love to travel. My husband and I had a chance to go to Germany over the summer and it took my breath away. The picture above is me standing on the tallest mountain in Germany. Jan said that she gets a lot of her inspiration from traveling. I know that I get my inspiration for story ideas from my silly dogs and cats. Sam and Gracie my English Mastiffs, and also from my two cats Buster and Tweak. One day I would love to publish my picture books that I have written about my 4 crazy companions.
Jan also has her own blog. Check it out and tell me what you like or do not like about it. Do you see any similarities to ours? What else did you find while you were exploring her website?
So, this is what I would like for you to do:
1. Find something that you and Jan Brett have in common and tell me about it.
2. What do you notice about her blog? Is it like ours or not?
3. Look at her book list. Pick out one book that you would love to read in class and tell me why.
4. List 3 other things that you found interesting about her website.
