FIRST WEEK AT COW SCHOOL





I have choosen this book because it brings me good memories. When I was little my mom read this book in Spanish. 

I have had the opportunity to travel to Ireland as a part of my degree for 3 months and after one month more to work as a tutor of a group of spanish students. 
I was walking through the streets of Dublin and saw this book in the window of a bookstore. It reminded me of my childhood and I bought it. So I wanted to share this book with the rest of the class.


This is a book a little tricky to read in a infant class. But I think that children who are 6 years old can understand the story if we look the vocabulary of the book at first. 

First would make a presentation of the characters.









She is Marjorie and she is a cow! 
Marjorie has a daughter...


....  Daisy!! Daisy is a chicken!!



Is her first week at cow school....






her teacher is Miss Gold-Top ... and here are her classmates. 
















And then I will tell the story with a big pictures.  

In my opinion, I believe it's a very funny story and children will enjoy a lot. It is a story with many pictures and colors that attract much attention from children. They are also very curious and funny characters.
I will realize a small adaptation to infant children to understand better the story. But I think for the pictures and the context they can understand it very well.
