Not Sure of My Title
Title possibilities:
1) Higher and Higher (name of text)
2) The truth behind swinging?
3) The real story of swining?
Today I read a book called higher and higher by Leslie Patricelli. I noticed that the author had the same first name as me, and the same first name as one of the students in the class. Anyway, this book is about what a little girl says when she is on the swing and her dad is pushing her. Now this is something we all said to the person pushing when we were young. Do you know what that is? Well, it's "higher" "higher!" All little kids like to say to be pushed "higher". In this fun story the little girls goes SO high! Above a tall building, above a man on a mountain, above an airplain even! Then she goes into outter space (yes she is still on her swing if your wondering). In outter space she goes higher than a rocket - and - she sees an ailien! I'm not going to tell you what she says to the ailien. You will have to read this book! Now why did I like this book? Well it was really different and there is a fun utube video. I wonder if I could write such a simple story like this and have really great pictures to go with it?

Of course you can!! It sounds like a fun book, I might share the video with the fourth and fifth graders, just for the face that I want to know she says to the allien! Have you thought about what you might like to write about? Are you thinking that you want it to relate to your students or things you did when you were young? I always loved haning out in my cousins tree fort. I really like the title of the text higher and higher.
That sounds like a great book for my class. Even as an adult I sometimes will sneak a time on the swing and see how high I can go. Swings always catch the kids imagination with just how high could they go. Have you thought about turning this one into a poem? I wonder how high of a poem you could go with this(yes, pun is intended)? I am hoping that you do turn this into a poem. It would make a great one.
This took me back to when I was a little girl on the swings. It also made me want to go to a park and find some swings to play on! What was the name of the author, and book? I think it would be great if you wrote your own story like this, and possibly even used the idea for your children's book.
