Scarecrows

This week we are discussing scarecrows.   We are reading fiction and non fiction books.

We read Scarecrows and discussed why it is a nonfiction book.  The students mentioned things like... The pictures are real, it has a glossary, it tells us facts 

Then we filled out the graphic organizer : Scarecrows can, have, are 

Then we read The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't  Afraid Of  Anything 

This book is great for retelling .  The students lived telling me all the things that happened. 

Then we made our own scarecrow and wrote about what scares us.  I chose Mr. Dennis (our principal).  The kids thought I was kidding :).
