It’s Pete the Cat! I was pleasantly surprised to see him waiting by my front door when I checked the mail today. I can’t wait to use him and read his book to my kinder kids! For a fantastic unit using the book about Pete, go to Kindergarten Crayons and see what Fran made! We’ll be Rockin’ In My School Shoes when the second Pete book arrives too.
Also, a wonderful teacher on proteacher’s kindergarten board shared how she teaches ways to read a book (Daily 5) using Mo Wilems “Don’t Let the Pidgeon Drive the Bus!” Mo’s series of children’s books are wonderful!
Have fun!
He was also waiting at my front door:)
I got the next book: Pete the Cat..Iam Rocking in My School Shoes in the same envelope (you have to love Amazon.com)!
I am making him my "Mascot" for the year!
On Fran's site she had a friend send her a red Sneaker just like Pete's…they are a pencil carrier from Staples..I am going to make a BIG Pete out of coreboard and use the shoes for his feet! I love these books…it is refreshing to have a new "first Book" for the start of the school year..don't you agree.
I do Barb! I saw Fran's big shoe…soooo cool! Rockin' in My School Shoes was ordered last weekend, so it should be here sometime next week. I can't wait! Thanks for commenting 🙂
Guess what I found on Shannon Martin's Blog
Kinder pond?? A wonderful book she wrote about Pete The Cat…"Im Rocking in my School Shoes" It is called "Pete Loves School"..You have to check it out.
Thanks Barb! I had seen it, but wanted to download it for later. Thanks for the reminder. By the way…my grandson loved the book and the youtube video 🙂 So cute! He is only three, but loved predicting the colors (correctly–I might add)!
