Free Downloadable Activity Inspired by Laurie Keller’s Potato Pants!

by Alana Pedalino

CUFAB-Potato-Pants-Activity

Laurie Keller’s Potato Pants! features quite a cast of vegetable characters—including a plethora of potatoes, as the title suggests!

To help your students keep track of the story elements—the who, what, when, and where—of this Book of the Week, please download, print, and share this free graphic organizer inspired by the lesson plans of Book Talks teacher Tamika Mitchell-Wilcher.

CUFAB-Potato-Pants-CTA

Students can answer the questions with words to practice their writing skills or by drawing pictures to express their artistry.

If you’re able, please share photos of your students’ completed activities with the Scholastic Book Clubs community on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #ScholasticBookClubs. We’d love to hear from you!

This Book Is Available from Scholastic Book Clubs

A Note from Judy

Making new friends can be as easy as sharing a cookie! The Book of the Week–If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond—shows all the possibilities of befriending a mouse that overstays its welcome.

This week, have fun guessing what the Book Boys will ask for next; watch an exclusive interview with the book’s author, Laura Numeroff, in Behind the Scenes; learn how a teacher uses If You Give a Mouse a Cookie to engage her students in Book Talks; and download a free sequencing activity in this week’s Cooked Up from a Book!

We hope this tale of a boy and a mouse will make your students laugh and learn about the importance of setting boundaries and sharing.
