Oh, Lovely Mud! Mrs. Wishy-Washy Activities

MRS WISHY-WASHY

This week in Kindergarten we read Mrs. Wishy-Washy by Joy Cowley. This read aloud is a perfect book for spring, because it's the season for lots of 'lovely' mud. This fun book, paired with these book study activities, help students in Kindergarten and First Grade learn and practice essential literacy and reading comprehension skills in a fun and engaging way.

MRS WISHY-WASHY BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

Mrs. Wishy-Washy is a favorite character in Kindergarten and First Grade! She lives on a farm with a cow, duck, and pig. She likes to keep her animals clean, so she washes them with a scrub brush and soap in her cold tin tub. Wishy-washy, wishy-washy! The animals don't like to have baths - they prefer to play in the mud.

This Wishy-Washy book study unit is packed with fun activities that will help your Kindergarten and First Grade students with story elements, making predictions, character traits, making text to self connections, author's purpose, main idea, making inferences, vocabulary, writing, giving opinions and advice, problem and solution, story retell, reading comprehension, and much more!

These book activities can be used for whole class learning, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student and you're ready to go!
