Students in grade 2 had a full week to complete a "Book Talk" on their favorite Christmas or Winter book. Thank you parents for your help in making this an extremely successful activity. On Tuesday afternoon, students had an opportunity to share their book with the rest of the class. Students were expected to discuss the beginning, middle, end as well as the characters and why they enjoy that particular book. While we shared, discussed and read many terrific books, students also had an opportunity to enjoy a popcorn/candy cane snack!
It was a great afternoon of jumping into literacy!
My favorite part of this activity was being introduced to books I have never had an opportunity to read before. So thank you 2A for the many new titles I will have to add to our classroom library!
On the same note, I shared my favorite Christmas book:
Students were introduced to Newfoundland terms such as:
- toutons (basically fried bread)
- Jiggs Dinner
- Mummering
