Love Monster

We have started to think about author's purpose when reading books in our classroom.  We read two Love Monster books this week and shared our ideas about what we thought the author was trying to teach us.  This is a complex skill for a 5/6 year old, however, with opportunity and conversation the students are able to dig much deeper than the words.  We will be looking at author's purpose as we continue on our journey of reading comprehension. As a class, we decided the purpose of the books we read was everyone will find someone to love and that loves them for them.  Below are the Love Monsters we created to go with our stories.
