Bunnicula

     We have been reading Bunnicula by James and Deborah Howe.  I've enjoyed talking about the characters and their actions with my students.  I'd love to know if you can find ways to connect with the story?  Can you think of anything you read that made you think of your own life?  (text to self)  Maybe a part of the novel reminded you of another book you have read. (text to text).  Is there something happening in the world around you that made you think of the Bunnicula story? (text to world).  Let me know about connections you made while you were reading.  Don't forget to give me a lot of details!  :)

Hurricane Madness!

What a crazy start to the school year.  We barely got to know each other before we had a week of unexpected vacation from school!  I hope all of you are safe and well, and that you are looking forward to returning to school Tuesday.  I'm looking forward to beginning our year together once again, and I'm eager to hear all of the stories I'm sure you have to tell.  See you soon!
