It Looked Like Felt Milk Summary

The book I chose for my read aloud is “It Looked Like Spilt Milk” this book was written and illustrated by Charles G. Shaw. This story is about the different pictures that are made from the clouds in the sky. The story talks about all these different pictures. For example, it looked like split milk, rabbit, bird, tree, ice cream cone, flower, a pig, birthday cake etc. These are all the things the clouds looked like to the author. The genre of this story is fiction and the children use their imagination to help them to create the view of the different objects that is used in this story. The children enjoyed this story and because I used to create the different pictures using white felt and a felt board. I let one of my advance students place
the different picture on the felt board as I read the story. I used this because it has the children focus and engaged in the story. The children were so engaged because they wanted to help me tell the story the next time. I also used voice changing as I read this gives the children the since of the different characters throughout the story. The modification I would for this story with younger children would be using paper bag puppets to gain their attention. The white paper bags will have the different objects placed on them to give my listeners a visual idea what the story is talking about and after the story is done both techniques can be placed in the library area and the children can retell the story with their classmates. I think that I need to improve my ideas for read aloud time and come up with more great ideas to keep my class engaged during story time.
