After a conversation with Katie's Kindergarten colleagues I thought a lot about how they introduced positional words through shared reading and an already familiar classroom friend. My classroom is all but obsessed with Mo Willems and his characters Piggie and Gerald. This led me to create Piggie's Day, a shared reading book that we created to illustrate positional words. Piggie goes under chairs, above tables, near and far and all kinds of different places throughout the classroom. This has helped immensely with our describing vocabulary and has given my classroom friends many more choices for explanation.
