The Meanies by Joy Cowley
Re: The Meanies: one of my kids favorites
Posted by Nedra, on 6/19/98I do a friendship unit in Sept. My first graders love this
book too. We rewrite it as Friendlies. We make a big book to
keep in the classroom and I make little copies for them to
illustrate and take home.Nedra

How about some chocolate pudding for their mud puddles?
Use it for fingerpaint. Maybe they could draw some Meanies to
put "in"the mud after they finish the mud picture. I love this
book, too and hope to see more ideas!!

Posted by Addie k/mo on 6/21/98We read the Meanies usually on the first day of school. The kids love them. I let them
draw pictures on butcher paper of what the meanies would do if they came to school. I
have the children describe their pix and I write what they say. We use this to help
formulate our rules, because who wants to be a meanie??????Also we have used the meanies pattern to write informational stories like "Bears". An
example would be:Where do black bears live?
Black bears live all over America.
Black bears live all over America.
Black bears live all over America.
That's where black bears live!Depending on the age of the children you could have them come up with questions and
research as individuals or in groups. We do this in small groups and the group poses a
question and together we discover the answer and then each child does an illustration
which I cut out and place on the page.
