This was my "artistic" project with students. A multi-step process after listening to books and before book checkout can be very hectic since I am on a fixed schedule....time constraints can be very stressful!
Here are a few finished Crinkleroot bookmarks. Crinkleroot was created by Jim Arnosky and is a friend to all animals. Crinkleroot was supposedly "born in a tree and raised by bees." The kindergarteners were soooooo excited when they heard this. They thought this was soooo cool. Then I explained the term....fictional character. They were bummed.
First and second graders were very good listeners and rule followers. They were focused on creating their best Crinkleroot character ever....
Happy reading,
Mrs. Wetherell
