Please Take a Minute to Respond My Blog Survey

     

This year has been an exciting year of learning and growth for the students as well as myself. I have used the classroom blog to try to keep you up to date on the units we've covered in reading, writing, math, science and social studies as well as some of the cool projects we've completed with technology.

     At this time, I would like to ask you to take an 8 question survey to give me your feedback about weather or not the blog was a helpful tool in understanding your child's day of learning in room 24. Click on the the word "Survey" below and the link will take you right to the 8 questions.

Thank you for your participation!

SURVEY

We have just begun our last reading unit of study and it is a big one! Folk Tales, Fairy Tales and Fables is an interesting unit because there are literary references related to these early stories that occur in modern day literature. These old stories' lessons and morals crop up in today's reading, so a student who is familiar with the original story has a deeper level of comprehension.   We will read several Cinderella stories from different cultures. Each story has been adapted to reflect and teach from the point of view of the culture that is featured. We will notice the archetypes, character traits of the main characters, similarities and differences to the classic Cinderella and finally try to determine the reason the particular culture has told their version the way they did. Ask your child what he or she is learning through these classic tales.
