Jan Brett Author Study

This week, as you know, our Text Talk is on Jan Brett's retelling of a Ukrainian folktale, The Mitten.  We already read the story today, and the kids loved it!

Throughout the week, we will be studying Jan Brett and many of her other books.  We will visit her author website when we head to the Computer Lab on Thursday, and hopefully we will learn more about her writing and illustrating  process.

Students will also have the chance to compare and contrast The Mitten to another story by Jan Brett.  I will choose a few of the best examples to showcase on our class blog.

Please check out some of the great winter books by Jan Brett below.

Fall Poetry Celebration

Thanks to parents and children for a very successful poetry reading this past Thursday!

The students seemed very proud of their hard work, and I was very proud of them, too!

I was glad so many parents and other family members could make it to the celebration, and for those who couldn't attend, here are some pictures of the event!

Hope you enjoy:

Happy Fall, Ya'll!  :)
