Harry the Dirty Dog

One of my favorite books to read is Harry the Dirty Dog.  It’s a book I can pull out anytime of year when I am feeling like writer’s workshop has gotten a little stale to really shake things up for a week.  It inspires new thinking and a new topic to explore.  About once a month a book study just hits the spot! This book study is based on this cute little oldie:

We do this book study in one week’s time.   Each day I read the book, or do some kind of retelling of it.  With a classic like this one, it’s easy to find it in your library and there’s resources available to help you retell the story each day.  I even found a youtube of Betty White reading the book.  It’s awesome–Not only because she’s a great storyteller, but they use the graphics of the book with animation.  I also checked pinterest and found a few fun art projects to choose from on the last day of the study! 
 These reading response sheets look A-DOR-ABLE as big class charts too! Because the graphics I got to make this book study fromscrappinsdoodles were so cute, I couldn’t resist throwing in a math tub that focuses on subtraction numbers to 10.
