Tuesday in the Trees!

This morning I read an old book How the Forest Grew and we talked about how land changes over time before we headed out to the woods.  We definitely noticed some changes in the woods this morning as many leaves have fallen to the forest floor.

During Reader's Workshop we worked on building and writing names and I read another version of The Little Red Hen.  We also talked about how to retell a story and did some shared writing to retell the little red hen.  We also added to our character chart noticing which  characters are different in different versions.
