Peek and Predict

Are you ready for a fun game called Peek and Predict?

Let's Begin!
Today the kids in Room 222 were able to use information from a cover illustration to gather predictions on our newest addition to the Room 222 Library.

Below you will find the thoughts of our kiddos. Are you thinking the same thing they are?

Initial thoughts:
"We don't know who the author is."
"It looks like it was written by a 2nd grader."


"It might be about animals!"
"It might be about trees."
"Could it be about Jane Goodall?" - Student actually got up and found a Jane Goodall Biography to show the kiddos. My teacher heart skipped a beat.

"I see jungle plants!"
"Those leaves are different!"

"We know the author!" 
"There are even more kinds of plants."
"This is a new author for us."



"It is an award winner!"
"It has the word, me."
"I see a dot, dot, dot."
"Could it be, Me... and the Jungle?"

Are you ready to see the book?


Here it is...


A Jane Goodall book!

Stay tuned for more on Jane Goodall very soon.
