Run, run as fast as you can! We have been comparing and contrasting different versions of The Gingerbread Boy. The class had such a great time looking for similarities and differences in the story.

The class worked on their Wixie sites creating venn diagrams to show their thinking. I love to watch how they navigate these online sites!

Happy December Families! I can't believe we are this far into the school year... This week in reading, we focused on Point of View and character change. We read a very sweet story called. Somebody Loves You Mr. Hatch. You can watch a video read of the story below.
The class worked hard on examining how Mr. Hatch's feelings changed in the story and proving why.
Next week in reading, we will be comparing and contrasting different versions of
