We
participated in a collaborative Internet project called Mouse
Tales. Since second grade studies Spanish weekly with Senora
Kolodny, we thought the book Mice and Beans, by Pam Munoz
Ryan (author) and Joe Cepeda (illustrator) would be perfect for
the project. We used the MicroSoft Paint program to illustrate
our pictures. We created captions for each story, using the
Spanish words for the day of the week and the item each child
was to "bring" to our "party".
Hidden in
each picture are one, two or three mice, just like the mice were
hiding in Rosa Maria's house. Look carefully! Can you find all
the mice? Certainly in our pictures, "When there's room in the
heart, there's room in the house, even for a mouse"!
