We read “The Leaf Man” by Lois Ehlert, and it inspired us to create our own leaf characters using the leaves we had collected during our leaf investigations. Some of us crafted leaf turtles, while others came up with leaf fish and other unique characters.
Afterward, we enthusiastically jumped into our very first story workshop! Story workshop is an engaging and interactive experience where storytellers can explore their creativity, share their tales, and learn storytelling techniques. During these workshops, kids share their imaginative stories and get creative by using various loose parts like shells, stones, and pebbles to create their stories. In our workshop, we used these items to ignite our imagination. Then, we discussed our stories with our partners, enjoying every moment of our storytelling. Finally, we put our stories down in writing. This marked the beginning of our journey into the story workshop!

At this grade level, inventive spelling and sounding out words are incredibly important! Please continue to encourage your child to sound out their words, as it boosts their confidence and helps them learn how to segment their words into sounds. We will cover more spelling patterns and rules as the year progresses!
