We have been learning through the story of Burglar Bill. We wrote him a letter telling him all about ourselves. We also described his house-we were great at thinking of adjectives. We wrote some questions and asked him for some answers! There was a bag of bread from his bakery in our classroom and we wrote some excellent senteces describing it.
In handwriting we have been learning how to form our letters with lead-ins.
