Children / Adults

For our QW today we did a pre-reading journal activity for our first reading assignment in The Little Prince. Mrs. Scales had an example on the front board. It looked like a T chart with the word Adult written above one column and the word Child written above the second column. Our task was to think about the way adults and children think differently. We listed qualities or personality traits for adults and children on the chart and then had to write an example to describe how children and adults look at things in different ways.

Our homework reading for today is: Chapters 1-4 (pages 3 – 19) of The Little Prince.

We continued root word presentations and worked on our writing assignments for the remainder of class today.
