We just finished a wonderful unit on fables!! For the last three weeks, we have focused specifically on the fable of the Gingerbread Man and we've read many various retellings of this story. We've compared and contrasted all of these stories and we ended our unit by making foam gingerbread houses and gingerbread picture frames. Check out all of our hard work!

Room 9 Reading Detectives!
We have been working really hard on listening for clues when we read! We know the author adds clues to help us understand the book, so we are being book detectives. This week we've been reading paragraphs about different farm animals and the students need to guess what animal the writer is describing using the clues provided. These aren't easy!! Check us out in "action"!
