We have started our unit on Fairy Tales. We will study the elements of a Fairy Tale and read different Fairy Tales. We will have a Fairy Tale Parade on Thursday, January 27th at 9:15am. A note with specific information went home in the Tuesday folder.

In Writer's Workshop we are finishing our Snowman stories so we can share our stories with the class in the Author's Chair. We will begin learning about writing sequencing stories and planning more details in our writing.

Have a great week!
