Before Spring Break we were learning about circle stories. This week we are continuing our study. We read If You Give A Pig A Pancake by Laura Joffe Numeroff in our reading book and a few of her other popular circle stories. One of our favorites was If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. Many of us were already familiar with this story but we had lots of fun sequencing the events and making our very own mouse art project.
We have also read these other funny circle stories by Laura Numeroff.
Now that we know so much about circle stories and how they are written we are working on one of our own. Today we began by writing a circle story as a class called If You Give A Bunny A Carrot. Then during guided reading we began planning our own circle story on a graphic organizer. Tomorrow we will write our rough draft and by the end of the week we will our final copies ready to display in the hallway. This is always a fun writing project and from what I have seen we are going to have some very good stories this year.
