Reading with Mrs. Bender

Finally we were able to finish our Dragon unit and the kids shared their journal about taking care of their own dragon.  We had some very interesting pets!  We also finished up Laura Ingalls Wilder by writing a poem and doing some journaling.  Our next novel will focus on a young man's journey across the Overland Trail in search of his dad's claim.  Lots of interesting adventures.  "Night of the Pufflings" was our story this week.  Pufflings live in Iceland so we have been noticing their different landforms.  In this unit we focus on summarizing, writing outlines and reviewing prefixes and suffixes.
