in it.

Retelling: The Mitten

We  practiced our retelling skills this last week.

We read The Mitten by Jan Brett.

We "knitted" our own mittens and 

used picture cards to retelling the story.

Captions in Writing

In Writer'S Workshop, we took a look at some books

that had captions. The kids loved seeing real author's using

captions in their writing.

So, we gave it a try! 

My stars did great working with a group 

and making a caption for a photograph.

The petals are growing.

Robertson is our favorite school.

The unicorn is running.

I see the mountains, the trees, flowers, the pond, and the grass.
