Thursday Tales


Anna read one of my favorite books: Jessica in the Dark! We were able to look at the authors craft of building suspense. She did a GREAT job reading! Thanks, Anna!

We visited the countries of Thailand, South Korea, Japan, and India. We also finished up our conversaton about Diwali. Yesterday, after learning about Eid, we began learning about Diwali and finished up today. We also read a book about Hanukkah and Nathan shared shared a bit with us, too. We also read The Runaway Latkes and compared it to The Gingerbread Man. Next week, we will be reading quite a few Gingerbread stories.

We made a menorah and then finished up some of our projects. Tomorrow we will play the Driedl game as well as learn about Las Posadas.

Tomorrow we have art.

Be sure and take a look at the mystery reader video I posted last night. You can watch it here or click on the link to the right, under mystery reader. We ran out of time to watch it today, so we will try and get it in tomorrow.
