A Jan Brett-a-thon!

We L-O-V-E Jan Brett in Our Neck of the Woods! Over the past two weeks (one week before Christmas break and last week), we read an assortment of Jan Brett books.


We compared charaters, plots, settings, and conflicts. Then, we chose our favorite Brett book and wrote a summary of the story. We then made two of the main characters using construction paper and completed our pop-up scenes.



To culminate our author study, we explored Jan Brett's amazing website (www.janbrett.com) and watched the following video that taught us how to draw the popular Hedgie.


Check out our wonderful artwork!




By the way, how cool is InstaFrame?!?!
