Activities & resources

My daughter is 7 and really got excited about reading graphic novels last year. It can be a little tough to find some age appropriate options to share with her and her friends. This would easily make the list. The story follows a classroom as they begin their first day of school. Mr. Wolf is even a new fourth grade teacher and experiencing his very first day as well. They encounter and deal with different personalities, new schedules, and even a few mistakes along the way. Mr. Wolf is just as guilty. He loses a student for part of the day!! I did think it was weird that Abdi asked if he was the only boy at the party, um everyone was invited?????????????????? Steinke is currently working on a new original graphic novel due out in the summer of 2024. What is the Mr. Wolf’s Class Series About?

This is an incredibly relatable graphic novel. Students will recognize several actions and routines that they follow in their own classroom or school. The chapters are short and are told from a few different perspectives. It’s definitely full of kid humor. One of my daughter’s favorite parts was the rats who would sneak into the classroom to take lunches. She also liked the unique show-n-tell item that one student brought to class. The illustrations are superb, colorful and very playful. The characters are just as great and were made up of a variety of different animals. There were a couple learning moments where it explained what a palindrome was and briefly touched on several varieties of shells. From Eisner Award-winning creator Aron Nels Steinke, a vibrant, funny new series that charmingly captures the everyday antics of a Year Five classroom! In addition, all the animals use human English, and some have names associated with ethnicities. For example, there is a cat named Abdi, short for Abdikadir - but nothing about his clothing, features, skin color, or behavior mimics stereotypes or tropes.Super-cute and full of adventure, MYSTERY CLUB is a great comic for reluctant or new readers in elementary school. Featuring a class of animals and their antics, this is a fun comic that is easy to get into. Each chapter features its own connected story, such as the formation of the Mystery Club, their attempt to solve the mystery of a missing teacher, and the finding of all the balls and frisbees that disappeared during recess in the crazy land beyond the fence. Mr. Wolf has just started teaching at Hazelwood Elementary. He wants the first day of school to go well, but he’s got his hands full with his new Class.
