Blue Sky

Audrey Wood's 2012 picture book Blue Sky might just be the book you are looking for this summer. I already envision multiple ways to use this book with K-5 students. 

The text is sparse but lends itself to action and imagery. It reads like a poem:

Blue sky

Cloud sky

Rain sky

Storm sky

In your K-2 classes, use the text as a starting point for a warm up you develop, or for a structured improv activity. With students in 3-5, I imagine dividing up the book. In small groups or even solos, students can create a short phrase to represent each page – "rainbow sky…..storm sky…..dream sky…"

Have fun and play!
