What are the most important "Elements of a Story'? This is what our morning discussion was based on. From this, we each created a poster as a 'cheat sheet' for the back of our journals.  It included: characters, problem, theme, setting, solution and plot. This began our discussion around Fairytales.

We learned to use skip counting as a strategy: 2,4,6. We also learned a song to help us.  Have a great evening and stay warm!
