Pictures from Edward Tulane Day

Edward Tulane day was a big success! The kids loved having their favorite stuffed animals at school and sharing them with their classmates.  The centers were a fun way to revisit the book and practice our reading skills.  The cake was by far the favorite part of the day for the students.  One of my kids said, "Ms. Lindsay (the art teacher) may know how to draw on paper, but you know how to draw on a cake."

The Miraculous Edward Tulane Cake

Tomorrow is the big day!   We are finishing Kate DiCamillo's amazing book, The Miraculous Journey of Eward  Tulane, so we are having our Edward Tulane day. Our day will start with Edward Tulane word problems (you can buy a copy at my Teachers Pay Teachers store).  Then we will share our stuffed animals we brought from home.  I found two amazing games from Wise Guys on Teachers Pay Teachers that we will play.  I will also be using their great Facebook activity for this novel.  We will do Edward Tulane centers and do some of the activities from the official website for this book.  At the end of the day, we will eat a special cake that I made (with some assistance from a very loving Mom!).  Check back tomorrow to see how our day went!

Getting ready for Edward Tulane Day!

My class is reading one of my favorite books of all time- The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tualne by Katie DiCamillo.  We started this book during testing as a fun activity.  It took me three years but I finally got a class set so each child can explore the text while we read aloud or with partners. We will soon be finished with the book so I decided to have an Edward Tulane Day to celebrate. I made invites which I will try to post.  We will be doing center activities, finishing our journals, making some sort of craft, doing Edward Tualne word problems, and eating Edward inspired snacks.  Check back for pictures of our day and items to download.
