5th Grade Unit 4 "Cendrillon"

5th graders will begin to read the story "Cendrillon".  In order for them to get background knowledge about the setting, Martinique, we read a selection from the textbook called "The Island of Martinique".  Later, they saw a video about Martinique.  They had to pay close attention, because they were going to compare and contrast Martinique to Puerto Rico.  They really enjoyed the activity, and they were surprised to learn that we had some things in common to Martinique.

After finishing the story "Cendrillon', students created a flapbook project.  In first flapbook, they had to draw pictures of what happened first, next, then, and last.  In another flapbook, they compared and contrasted the story to a short "Cinderella" video.  

4th Grade Story Dogzilla File Folder Activity

4th graders worked on a special in-class assignment related to the story "Dogzilla".  They had to cut and glue each story element to the correct answer on a file folder.  Then, they had to draw a picture of the story on the cover of the file folder. They did a terrific job on the assignment!
