Hewitt Anderson

Today we read "Hewitt Anderson's Great Big Life," and students should reread it for this evening's homework (pages 466-489).  We discussed the vocabulary from this story, and students will take a story test tomorrow.

We are learning various genres of narrative text, including tall tales, folk tales, myths, pourquoi tales, and fairy tales.  All of these forms have an element of fantasy, were first told orally, and may include animals as characters.  They usually reflect the values and beliefs of a culture.

Please keep reading for Book-it!

Spelling test is NEXT week!
