This week has been a chilly week! We began our Gingerbread unit. We read The Gingerbread Man. As I mentioned in conferences, understanding what your child reads is important. We are practicing how to put the events in a story in order. Everyone in the class is in charge of a certain part of the story and the class needs to but the events in order. They will be drawing pictures and writing captions as well.
We have been talking about the genre of writing called fantasy. We are saying fantasy is a story that is pretend, fiction, imaginary, and has characters, such as an animal that takes on human traits. By the end of the week, your child will have a fantasy story well on its way. Our goal is to have the story published before winter break.
Our holiday party will be next Friday in the afternoon. A note will be going home today regarding the party. There will be homework due that Friday. I will have homework sent home that Friday that will be due the Friday after we return from break.
Stay warm and drive safe!
