For the week of Cinco de Mayo, we did a character study of Skippyjon Jones. My students loved it! Surprisingly enough, I hadn’t read any of these books to them this year. We listened to one book with the CD and laughed. I think they like it when I read it though because I have a silly accent. LOL! At the end the week, we made a chart of his characteristics(silly, happy, jumps on his bed, speaks spanish). Then, each student went back to their seat and made their own chart. They turned out so cute!
I love this and my students love Skippy Jon Jones books! They find it hilarious to listen to me read because most of my students are Hispanic and are learning English. They find my pronounciation hilarious! 😉
