All About Me: A Kevin Henkes Author Study

We have been spending lots of time getting to know each other since school started. Kevin Henkes (an author and illustrator) has helped us to realize how we are alike and different. We like different things, we learn differently, but we all have one thing in common---we can be friends no matter what our differences are.

Check out Kevin Henkes' website below:

Listed here are several of the books we have read along with activities. Explore the site (along with our blog); it is a great way to spark a conversation with your child about what they are learning. Just ask them about Lilly, Owen, Wimberly, Chester, or Wilson, and I'm sure they could tell you all about these funny characters!

Mama Jama was the BEST!

Our second graders had a very special guest come to visit them. It was Mama Jama the Storyteller. She taught us a song, told us a funny story, and reminded us of how very important reading and school are to our lives.

Check out some of the pictures from the storytelling:

All of us waiting! We were excited.


Mama Jama telling a story. It was about a girl and a magic snail!


We danced!!!


We were amazed!

Thanks Mama Jama and Papa Jama for coming. We LOVED it!

We LOVE our silent reading time!

Research states that students need 10-15 minutes of independent reading each and everyday. Boy do we love it!
