Cameron reads his note from Eric Carle.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This week, we have been enjoying the various books by the beloved author Eric Carle. The kids have enjoyed identifying Mr. Carle’s distinguishing characteristics, including writing “repeaters”, using 5+ detail (ask your child what that means \ud83d\ude42 ), writing about animals, being quite silly, and many others. We have been practicing making text to text connections during Reader’s Workshop and seeing if we can find any similarities in our books to the Eric Carle books. Today, one of our friends, Cameron, got an interesting note in his lunchbox that provoked some conversation. It read, “Dear Cameron, Thanks for reading my books. Love, Eric Carle” . Many of the kids were interested in this note and a question came up debating the validity of the note and whether Eric Carle was in fact a real person. Who was this guy anyways and how could he have gotten this note into our friend’s lunchbox? We started an investigation on Eric Carle and pulled him up on his website, EricCarle.com. We looked at his picture and read his biography, talking about how old he is and how he went to art school growing up. We will continue to talk about Eric Carle as an author and perhaps make comparissons to ourselves as authors too. Could we be famous authors one day?<\/p>\n
