Skippyjon Jones author Judy Schachner has created a site a for her books. Skippyjon Jones is a series about a Siamese cat that is certain he is a Chihuahua dog and the many adventures he has. The site Skippyjonjones.com presents numerous activities for the classroom, using reader's theater or wordle.net (a site that allows the insertion of words and then creates various designs with the words) opportunities to practice Spanish, sing songs, and many printables. The Skippyjon Jones site offers many activites for students to use on-line, to help with comprehension or to dress up Skippyjon Jones in his many costumes. The Skippyjon Jones series can be used with grades 1-3. The Skippyjon Jones books are very funny and encourage students to use their imagination. The video displays a little about the Siamese cat/Chiuacha dog name Skippyjon Jones.
This book sounds like it would be a great read! The activities on wordle.net are awesome because the students have to make the list of words when they want to describe something. It works their brain and is great for literacy development!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this book and the link for the activities. I found out this week that the little guy that I have is a huge fan of Skippyjon Jones, and now I can use it and have some activities do to with him.
