| Our Heroine- Molly Lou Melon |
We have read Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Livell several times. Molly Lou might be tiny, buck-toothed and like no other, but she doesn't care. Molly Lou's grandmother has confidence in her and tells her over and over to believe in herself. Her confidence is tested by a bully named Ronald Durkin. He calls her names and makes fun if her in front of other. Molly Lou persevered and our heroine proves to everyone that her difference makes a BIG difference in the world. You see, her difference wasn't really that she was tiny. It was the fact she was imaginative, creative, and never gave up!
For our Literary Pumpkins the children wanted to create Molly Lou and characters from the story! We invited them to be like Molly Lou. We gave them pumpkins, paint, felt, ribbon, pipe cleaners, and construction paper. We were amazed at what transpired. Collaboratively they worked in small groups and created, complimented, and completed the most amazing characters. Molly Lou really rubbed off on us! Take a look!
