Novel Study Work: Winnie the Pooh

As a class we brainstormed places Pooh might get stuck? We made a list together on chartpaper. Then we read some of chapter two! Students like this novel so far J

At the end of the day, the students watched the Hamlet performance, which was put on by the older students! This was a great way to support the boys and girls in the drama club!

Have a very good night!
