We Are Characters!

I loved seeing all of my Firsties dressed in their costumes and excited to share about their characters. We started the day with character interviews. Students paired up to interview and learn about each other's characters. Next, each student had to introduce his/her partner to the class, then tell us about that character. They all did a terrific job! Later on, students drew a picture of their character and then everyone got a laptop to create a word cloud, or Wordle, about their character. 
Below are many pictures from the day...

 Students chose partners to "interview" a book character.

 Mrs. Novak stopped by to read us a pirate story!

 All students got to use a laptop to create a word cloud about their book character. We brainstormed and made our lists of character traits/describing words about our 
book characters earlier this week.
