ROCKING IN MY SCHOOL SHOES

What a great book to read the first week of school.  The students love Pete the Cat books. They are written in such a cute fashion that can get a little giggle here and there out of your students.  You can even get them to do a little echo reading with you in which they think is so "COOL" just like Pete is.  Then there are so many extension activities you can do from writing to art.  I have one writing activity listed and then they can make their cat with matching shoes to go along with the writing activity.  The Pete the Cat books are also great for a 1.5-2.2 reading level.
