I cannot believe it is almost time again to begin another year! I think along with the excitement of planning new things I have been most excited about the new Pete the Cat ideas I have been working on for the summer. I hope everyone knows that Amazon is taking pre-orders and the new book about Pete comes out in September! I did this for the last book and my class held a count down. We used the count down as a math project. I am going to do this again. I will post the photo of what I have mad latter this week when I have my classroom more put together! We had a picture of Pete and he held the count down numbers and we tore one off until the new book arrived. It made it very exciting. And now since there is a new one coming again, I think we will do the same! I posted this picture just to get others as excited as I am about the new book! More later this week as I get things ready! My summer class kids are really enjoying Pete and we have only read it once! I have one student who calls him Pat the Cat! Tomorrow we are going to read I Love My White Shoes and make shoes for our cats we made last week. I will post some action shots of their creations.
