Adopt a Classroom

We have our FIRST Adopt-A-Classroom donor! JC Penny's donated $100 for us to spend on our class. We are so appreciative of them but we'd love to have more. Our goal is to purchase an iPad for students to use. If you, a friend or family member would like to donate just visit www.adoptaclassroom.org! If you know someone that owns a business, the business can make a tax deductable donation too. Please spread the word!


Gingerbread Man

We apologize for our lack of posts lately. We have been so busy with Thanksgiving and planning for Christmas we forgot all about our blog!

This week in reading students will be working on identifying the major events in a story and how they relate to the characters and story. Today, we read the Gingerbread Man and discussed the different characters, events, the refrain, ending, etc. Each day this week we will read a different version of The Gingerbread Man and complete an attribute chart that will help us identify the major events in each story as well as compare and contrast the different versions of the same story.

Here's what we've learned so far...
