For My Reading Street Friends

 

For those of you spurring me on to the finish line, this product has been completed!

You can find it available here.

It's the first story in which long vowels are introduced and I found it to be especially challenging. 

Seriously.

The short vowels were terribly easy... I mean, who can resist a "fat cat" or "hot pot" anchor chart?

Honestly, they just beg to be displayed!

Then we get to the long a vowel.  

How can you create a catchy slogan for that?    

Lame Cake?

Fake Shave?

Name the Flame?

I give up.

In any case, if you'd like to receive this for FREE,

be 1 of the first 4 to leave a comment and I'll send it to you.

I won't even ask you to "follow" me. 

Although, I certainly wouldn't mind.

Thank you for your time!

Have You Seen This Man?

No... he hasn't appeared on any milk cartons recently.

But you might know him just the same. 

He's often in the company of his fine cat, Tabby, 

and his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry.

I know you're probably thinking,

 "You know... he does look familiar."

Rather than prolong the guessing any longer,  

I'll go ahead and share with you.

It's Mr. Putter!

(You were probably going to guess his name next, 

weren't you?)  Yeah.  Right.  Whatever.

In any case, my kiddos just completed a book study about this lovely man.

He is, by far, one of my favorite characters and my kids 

 thoroughly enjoyed him as well. 

Despite the vast age difference.

So, to culminate this study I decided we needed to MAKE Mr. Putter

and compare/contrast him with Zeke, Mrs. Teaberry's dog.

Here are two more excellent representations...

I love this "uncertain" expression!  

And here's a quick shot of the complete display.

Mr. Putter(s) in all their glory.

I'll be back in a few days with a template for you.

He's just too fun not to share!

Happy Reading!
