Our first grade students just finished a collaboration project in library, art, and the classroom and it was so much fun! First, we read the book The Wolf in the Snow in the library. This wordless picture book by Matthew Cordell is about a girl in a snowstorm who finds a lost wolf pup. After returning the pup to it's pack, she gets tired and lost. The wolves surround and protect her until her father comes. It's a beautiful, Caldecott Award winning book and is lots of fun to retell.
After reading the book in the library, the students made stick puppets of the girl and the wolf in art class with Mrs. Ryan. They also practiced retelling the story in the classroom. Finally, these past two weeks we recorded students retelling the story using the puppets. Some of the students recorded their stories in art class in front of a snowy background that they made. Other students recorded in the library in front of a green screen (we then put the snowy background in behind the students).
