After reading the book by Mary Ann Hoberman, “A House is a House for Me,” we decided to create our own story.

The children really started thinking and this is the result.

Enjoy!

We are part of the Global Read Aloud 2017. Children all over the world are reading books by Mem Fox. We are enjoying her stories and are having wonderful conversations. Through some of her books we are being introduced to the many different animals in Australia. We will be Skyping with a mystery class on Thursday.

I am pleased to share with you our first published book this year.

We brainstormed what people read and where they read. The children are proud and excited with our final product.

Enjoy!

We had a great start to the school year. I am looking forward to seeing everyone Wednesday, September 13th at curriculum night.

We had a publishing party today. The grade 2 classes shared with pride their hard work. After a unit on Fairy Tales, the children wrote their own stories. They had a choice with their final copy to hand write it, type and read it on Book Creator or orally tell their story on Puppet Shadow. The authors worked diligently and I was pleased with their stories!

We are reading stories by Marc Brown. The children are making connections and writing literature responses. You will soon have a sleepover with the class Arthur doll. The children will write about their sleepover with Arthur. Please be sure to email me a picture of your child with the doll.
