Reading: Ms. Pease

This week we have been working on the following:

• Fables: we have read a few fables and discussed the characteristics of a fable. We identified the moral and how we can apply that moral to our own lives.

• we reviewed authors' purposes for writing: to inform, persuade or encourage, and to entertain.

Next week, we will:

• demonstrate knowledge of distinguishing characteristics of well-know children's literature in legends and myths.

Ask Your Child:

Ask your child which fable they enjoyed reading the most. What was the moral of the story?
