Fairy Tale sharing with Kindergarten

As part of 3rd grade's read-a-thon on Friday afternoon we invited the kindergarteners into our extra cozy classroom to share the fairy tales and illustrations they recently finished. We also shared some of the stories we have written or been inspired by during our fairy tale unit. We so enjoyed their visit and were inspired by their creations. It was awesome to see our almost 4th graders take on a leadership role. 

Thanks to Ms. Jamie and the kindergarten class for visiting our class and for being such gracious and respectful guests.

Edward Tulane Field Trip

Last Wednesay we were lucky enough to attend Oregon Childrens Theater's production of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It took place at the Winningstad Theater in downtown Portland. We read the book as a read aloud in class. It is a touching and at moments heart-breaking story of a China rabbit who goes on an epic journey and learns how to love. The book was written by the fabulous Kate DiCamilio who also wrote the book Flora and Ulysses which we read earlier this year.
