David Wiesner Day
Tomorrow is David Wiesner Day in my school library. My kindergartners, first graders, and second graders have been busy reading three-time Caldecott Medalist David Wiesner's innovative and delectable picture books. We had dozens of in-depth conversations about visual storytelling and what it means to truly read illustrations. I loved listening to kindergartners and first graders discuss Sector 7 and watching second graders experience Tuesday and The Three Pigs for the first time. I'll never forget our Flotsam conversations. "Mr. Schu, why is he bringing that little container to a store?" "Well, dear student. Once upon a time..." :)
You're probably not surprised that my students watched six videos during our Wiesner unit. I've complied them below for your viewing pleasure. Happy watching!
