Jan Brett Author Study

We completed a wonderful author study in January on Jan Brett! The students loved her books and illustrations. We read many of her books and put on mini-plays to act out and sequence the books using puppets! They listened to her stories on CD and even watched a video on how to draw her favorite character Hedgie! The students also enjoyed playing games on Jan Brett's website.

Animal match-up center from Jan Brett characters!
