Fairy Tales!

I am excited to begin our fairy tale and fractured fairy tale unit! This is my first time to teach this unit!

Please share a favorite fairy tale if you have one. Tell us why you like it.

Also, please share any experiences that you have had with fairy tales. Do you remember your mom or dad reading fairy tales to you? Do you remember hearing them in a certain grade at Kinkaid?

If you are like me, you may not have much fairy tale experience. Let's get the fairy tale talking started!

iBook Success!

Today we each created our own page for our Oregon Trail iBook! Now all we have to do is name it, edit it and practice reading it for Pioneer Hour!

Please share your topic and a few facts with us.

Also, let us know what your favorite part of this process has been. Research? Typing your paragraph? Planning your widgets? Creating your page?

Historical fiction is so much fun to write! It has been so much fun to see you all step back in time to the 1840's.

Please share some good things that will happen to you and your family and some bad things that will happen. We all know that traveling on the Oregon Trail was filled with highs and lows!

Please be specific. Tell us which family member is involved and include as many details as you can.

Our head are filling with Oregon Trail BK! Please share some of your new learning with us!
