scento-sational Point of View Writing

I love teaching point of view! This is such a fun topic! There are sooo many amazing storybooks to use when teaching this concept. So for first person point of view I love using interactive storybooks! The two that I used this year are 

And 

These books are amazing! My kids love them and they adore the character, Larry! 

For Don't Push the Button, my kids were asked to identify the point of view it was in as well as make a Larry out of purple paper! They also made a red button snack out of graham crackers, vanilla frosting and a red gummy lifesaver!

For Don't Touch This Book, we discussed point of view again and also discussed first person point of view writing!!!

The kids then did a directed drawing activity of Larry and used Scentos markers to make them into pop art Larrys!!! The smell of these markers are amazing and the kids were so excited to be able to use these markers!!! Then they wrote a story in first person or from Larrys point of view and got to trace their writing with Scentos gel pens!! You would have thought they won the lottery!! Using Scentos made them take their time and take pride in their work because these are special writing tools!!! 

So if you are looking for some tools that will make your kiddos want to write then Scentos is your tool! The great news is that Scentos are now found at Michaels!!!!!! A combination of amazing storybooks and Scentos will make any lesson amazing and one to remember!!! 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 

Snappsy the Alligator

I love teaching point of view! I especially love teaching third person! I absolutely love teaching about the narrator!!!!! 

My all time favorite book to teach about third person is Snappsy the Alligator! Have you read it???? If not, you must!!! My kids love it!!!

Click on the picture below to go to the link on Amazon! You will not be sorry purchasing this book!!!!!!

Here is a quick summary! Snappsy the Alligator does not want to be a part of this book. He is just minding his own business! Chicken the narrator makes him a part of the book. The conversations are priceless and the kids will love it!!

I have my kids do a directed drawing activity. Then they watercolor them! They come out so cute!!!

Then they write about the point of view and we display them in the hallway!

I hope you love this as much as my kids and I do!!!
