We are studying the children's literature author, Patricia Polacco for the next few weeks. This week, we are reading The Keeping Quilt and talking about family traditions. Some of the other stories we look forward to reading are: When Lightning Comes in a Jar, Thunder Cake, Babushka's Doll, Chicken Sunday and Thank You Mr. Falker. The class will participate in a center where they record elements of a narrative story on a graphic organizer using Patricia Polacco books. They will also review writing responses to literature during Writer's Workshop.
