I hope everyone had a great weekend. Once again, my family and I enjoyed a weekend in the mountains. The leaves are already beginning to change in Boone. Looks like it will be a spectacular leaf season, if you can get there, I recommend it.
As we all know :), our project and book reports are due this coming Friday. Mrs. Jenkins has been working with students in Technology to type the book report. That should be a big help to most. Remember, this is the students project. I don't expect an extravaganza. The performance aspect of this (the fable) should take no more than 3-5 minutes. I do require students follow a script, so it should be rehearsed before they perform in front of class. I will have a puppet theater for student puppeteers to use in class.
As an added bonus for parents and students, I will not collect homework this week, although I strongly urge students to read everyday. As an even more fabulous bonus, we will not have a vocab test this week! I want students to work on bringing the best product they can on Friday, so work diligently, my friends.
We will focus on reading Harriet the Spy in class this week. We will also cover fables, and discuss what the differences and similarities are between fables, folk tales, fairy tales, tall tales and legends. We will also begin learning how to properly write dialog in stories.
See you all tomorrow!
