Corduroy
This book was one of my all time favorites growing up. It is about a bear in a toy store that wants to have a home. A little girl comes by one day and asks her mom for him. But, her mom says that he has a button missing and that he doesn't look new. The bears name is corduroy and he looks down and he notices he does have a missing button. So when the store closes at night he goes on a mission to find his button. He ends up on the beds and he tries to take the button off of the mattress but, the security guard finds him and take him back. The very next days the young girl comes back and pay for him, takes him home and sews on a new button for him.
This book was a really cute book, but i can't really think of any assignments besides a vocabulary one that can be used. Any suggestion what assignments can be done?
This is such a classic book! It was also one of my favorites when I was younger. It is a great book for those in the primary grades especially preschool and kindergarten.I think a fun activity for the kids to kdo with this book is to have them draw a picture of their favorite toy and create a story about it. Or possibly kdo show and tell of thier favorite toy and have the children tell the class why that toy means so much to them. It is a good book to show children the importance of taking care of the things that are close to them. This could be taking care of family, freinds, classmates, and even the materials in the classroom. You could show the students the value in treating things as if it were their own. This book is very cute and I'd like to have my own copy!
ReplyDeleteThis book was great! I can't believe I've never heard of it before. Another idea would be like an arts and crafts type deal. When I was in school, I loved when we could do crafts that weren't the normal coloring with markers. Maybe sewing? It would probably have to be for like a third to fifth grade art project but I bet it would be a hit! I agree with EnRica too. It's always important to stress treating classroom materials well considering how little the teacher's budget is these days! Good Job :)
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this story as a child! It is very adorable and I like that it shows kids that sometimes all you need is a little TLC. It is also good for touching on the subject of "not judging a book by its cover", even though Corduroy wasn't perfect the little girl was still able to accept him.
ReplyDeleteI think EVERYONE has read this book at least one time or another! It is very cute and has a great plot behind it. This was definitely one of my favorite books growing up, mostly because it has a very lovable main character. I thought it was very heart warming that the little girl went back and bought the bear the next day, it was a happy ending which I'm sure everyone loves to see!
