Book In A Bag

Big Bird Buddies has put a new spin on the word "bookbag". We have placed the book Ten Little Ladybugs, a beanie ladybug, red playdough, a camera, and paper inside a tote bag which says, "Read With Me". Our families will be taking turns exploring our travelling bag at home. They are encouraged to read the story and be creative with the other elements.

Ms. Jolene was the first person to take the activity home. She spent time reading the story, using the playdough to create her own ladybug, and enjoyed the beanie's company as she constructed a picture of her experience.

We are hoping that this experience promotes diverse at-home literacy; reading is more than repeating written words. It is about bringing the story to life and we sincerely hope that this activity creates a renewed love for books and spending quality time with family.
