In my recent work with Gabriel Mistral Early Childhood Center, I worked with PreK teachers and their students. In one lesson, we talked about being authors. I showed them my book, Literacy Work Stations and talked about how I wrote my book. Then we learned about Eric Carle and what he does as an author and read his book, 1 2 3 to the Zoo. Later, some kids worked at a writing station making a counting book like Eric Carle. It is a joy to work with our youngest writers and see all they are capable of at the start of the school year!

Thanks for the Pre K idea. I teach that and anything your post in that area is awesome. Do you have pictures of what your Prek centers look like?
Thanks
