Spencer from the book Too Many Toys
Hi Spencer.
Spencer, Spencer, Spencer…
Is that you…
from Too Many Toys?
That awesome David Shannon book about the kid with TONS of Toys?
http://www.amazon.com/Too-Many-Toys-David-Shannon/dp/0439490294/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=sharinkinder-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=7UI5DJB47SBWHD66&creativeASIN=0439490294
I love to use this book in our David Shannon Author Study to discuss
 and use the PROBLEM in the story on the lines.
find the problem in the book Too Many Toys
Then we give three solutions to the problem in the circles.
I love using this book for the the problem because this is a common problem for kids
and it helps them solve this problem in their own lives.
Here is a student example.
Give three solutions for the problem in this book, Too Many Toys
“Spencer has too many toys. His mom us getting rid of some.”
{I love this because the student didn’t think Spencer has too many toys,
but since his mother wants to get ride of some is the real issue.}
 The solutions he comes up with include putting them away in a box,
sorting them into bins,
and giving some of them away.
Here is another student example.
Too Many Toys Author Study
“Spencer loves his toys and he has many toys.”
{Apparently his mother has no influence with this student.}
His solutions included putting some of the toys away,
selling some in a yard sale,
and giving some away to a friend.
We also played this reading comprehension game…
which is always a class favorite.

And here is our Spencer art work creations.
