Writing Piggie and Elephant Books and a Farewell to Mr. Riley

In 2nd grade we have been reading the Piggie and Elephant series by Mo Willems and using this series to focus on character traits and adjectives.  We've discovered that Gerald is very dramatic and silly and Piggie is more laid back and kind.  Using what we know about these lovable characters, each student is writing his or her own Piggie and Elephant book.  We are having a blast doing it!

We also said goodbye to Mr. Riley who had been working in our classroom this year.  He is moving onto his own classroom, and we wish him much luck.  Thank you for all of your help Mr. Riley!  You will be a fantastic 5th grade teacher!
