Mercy Watson Party

We finished our series with Mercy Watson.  This pig from Deckawoo Drive loves a good chase and toast with a great deal of butter.  The students in our class loved getting to know the characters in the series and earned themselves a Mercy Watson party complete with toast with a great deal of butter.  Friday we cheered for our love for the series and maybe wept a little too because it was over, those emotions are signs of great writing as well as great comprehension on the students part.  Where will read aloud take us next?  I have a feeling Henry Green will be surfacing soon with his love for chocolate but shhhh, I haven't told the students.
