This Friday, from 3-3:30pm the Daniel Bagley Library is excited to welcome Author and Illustrator Julie Paschkis! Ms. Paschkis is coming to talk to our youngest (K and 1) scholars about he work as an Author and Illustrator. Thanks Ms. McNeer for this unique opportunity to collaborate with you and for making all necessary arrangements to bring Ms. Paschkis to us!
From our K/1 Library Curriculum this week:
For our November unit we are preparing ourselves as readers for a visit from a real, live, author and illustrator, Julie Paschkis! In October, while with Ms. McNeer for art, Ks and 1s were studing chickens. Ms. Paschkis’ book Mrs. Chicken and the Hungry Crockodile was one of many books and materials students used when drawing their chickens.
Ms. McNeer has contacted Ms. Paschkis and she is coming to talk with our Ks and 1s about her jobs as both an author and an illustrator. During library time we are identifying the different roles of both the author and the illustrator as well as diving deeply into many of Ms. Paschkis’ works:
- Apple Cake: A Recipe for Love
- Fat Cat: A Danish Folktale
- The Talking Vegetables
- Mooshka: A Quilt Story
In addition to preparing our Passports for Ms. Paschkis’ visit, we are designing our own Mooskas (quilts) – each with 6 different schnitzs (a quilt block that tells a story).
CCSS RL.K.6 With prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.
RL.1.7 Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.
