We had a most thrilling, thought-provoking Thursday class this week.
There were only a few things we would have liked to tweak.
We enjoyed reading Robert Frost's classic poem and looking with wonder at the beautiful and engaging illustrations by Susan Jeffers.
The illustrations show a man (who looks a bit like Santa Claus) stopping in the woods to make snow angels and feed all the forest animals.
We talked about alliteration and rhyme! It was fun picking out the rhymes in each stanza and finding the repeating sounds.
We strung cheerios to hang outside for the birds. We matched animal tracks to the corresponding animals. And we created our own wintry, snowy scene.
Next week, we are going to read some wonderful Christmas books. We will also be sending home a semester's worth of work! The kids have done some amazing things. I hope to see them back for next semester. This class has been GREAT!! THANK YOU
