Lisa McCourt writes a fun and creative book about a boy who asks a lot of "What if..." questions and a very quick thinking mom who has very creative answers for these questions. As a teacher, if I had a nickel for every "What if..." question I received, I would have enough to go on a very nice vacation. It's Time for School, Stinky Face is a fun book that was recommended to me by my teammate. We spoke about the possibilities that this book could have in the everyday classroom. She had the idea to take these "What if..." questions from the book and actually have the kids write about them for themselves. This would allow for some very creative writing and imaginations would go wild! Just imagine what some students could come up with to this:
"What if the school bus was already stuffed with too many kids and the second I stepped inside, all the tires popped flat?"
This would be a fun and energetic way to get more creativity into your everyday classroom.
