I Have 20 Terrible Wild Things! I Dreamed Them in my Head

This poem was the beginning of our week long study of the fabulous book,
Where the Wild Things Are.
Of course in the poem there were only 5 terrible wild things, but we all wanted to be a wild thing this week. We really dove into this fun book. We listened to the story many times, even on tape, saw the short video, reenacted the story with puppets and made wild thing masks.
It also fit in perfectly with our writing -- book reports. The children did an awesome job remembering all the details from the book.
Finally to top it all off we got to play the role of the wild things!
Let the wild rumpus begin!
