When the description doesn't fit anyone, introduce the story and have children listen for Pepito's attributes as the story is read. Write grandma's quote and have children share what they think is unique about them. Children draw self portraits on large envelopes and web their traits or interests around their portraits. Extension Children can complete a puzzle sheet that provides information about them. The pieces can be cut and placed in the self portrait envelopes.
Students can try to identify each other using the portraits and puzzle pieces.
The puzzle activity can also be used with parents on Back to School Night.
