We had a Pete the Cat day on Friday. We made Pete the Cat, read this Pete the cat book, watched the video (I posted the video on the class video page), had a drawing lesson and wrote about Pete the Cat. I will be posting a slideshow of their writing soon.
I am not a cat fan, but I am a fan of these books. I was actually introduced to the book by the students. They told me about it and I found the video. The students were so engaged with the songs and character that I decided to have a Pete the Cat theme. Each book has a moral or message and this book's moral is: "No matter what you step in, keep on singing your song". Before Christmas break, we read "Pete the Cat Saves Christmas". The moral is "Give it your all". Many of the girls said they liked that book the best because of the song. I am posting the Pete the Cat videos to the class video page. Please be aware that this links to youtube and not everything on youtube is meant for children. I teach the students not to go on youtube at home without parent supervision. (They can't access youtube at school on their accounts.)
Next week we will be "Rocking in Our School Shoes" and will be enjoying more of Pete the Cat. Watch for more postings on Pete the Cat!
