After we were done with our Maker Mat activity, we had some free build time and they wanted to see what I could make from the Maker Mat. Students loved the story and used Plus Plus blocks to build creations from the Maker Mat. I put the English words under the Spanish words so students could make connections between the images, the Spanish words, and the English words. The items that I selected for this Maker Mat were based off of Spanish words that were in the story. As this was the first time using the Maker Mat with this age level, I had students work by themselves so they could get used to self-selecting and independent building based on their choice. With the Maker Mats, I let students choose an item from the mat to create. After we read the story, I introduced students to a Maker Mat. So, this week we read Skippyjon Jones SNOW WHAT. What better book to share with my littles than one from the Skippyjon Jones series! Skippyjon has been a favorite at my house for years and I love how Judy Schachner weaves Spanish words into the story.
