1st grade--Pete the Cat

Here's an activity I modified from Mobile 2012 speakers Linda Dinsdale and Nicole Olson. Students read Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by James Dean and Eric Litwin.  Using StoryBuddy they created a 3 page story. The first page starts with Pete in his white shoes. On the following 2 pages he steps in something and turns his shoes different colors. The students loved the project, they wanted to continue their stories (something we may do in the future) but 3 pages was what they could complete in their 15 minute block of time. They are looking forward to more Pete the Cat projects.
