Reading with Mrs. Bender

Fairy Tales and Tall Tales was our topic this week.  In reading we read two versions of Cinderella, one from the United States and one from China.  We worked on comparing and contrasting, outlining and summarizing for our skills.

In our novel unit, Dear Levi, one of Austin's new friends is great at telling Tall Tales.  We worked on summarizing some familiar Tall Tales like Johnny Appleseed, John Henry and Slue Foot Sue.
