After reading Who Took the Cookies?, we made our own version of the book. My goal was integrate writing and math. The students drew 12 cookies in the cookie jar. They picked a card with a number from 1-12 and crossed out that many cookies. To act it out, the students took the same amount of construction paper cookies from a "cookie jar", and counted what was left. Then they were able to write a number sentence and story problem. Some students used the number words in their story problems.
I assembled the book in order from 1-12. A picture of each child taking the cookies from the jar was placed on their page. I had to have it for evidence ;) The class picture was on the last page. Of course we had cookies and milk for snack.
