We started 2nd grade with an author study of Jan and Stan Berenstain reading The Bear Scouts Ghost Versus Ghost. In the book the bears go on a fantastic camping adventure! We decided to write camping stories to go along with our reading. We made dioramas, a list of amazing titles, narrative essays, and a cover for our stories. On Friday we brought our sleeping bags to school. Mrs. Blandford made a pretend camp fire out of a fan and tissue paper. We sat around the camp fire and read our adventurous camping narratives. After the campfire stories we made yummy S'mores with Mrs. Kurtz and watched a Reading Rainbow movie about camping! What a fantastic adventure!
Our fan-made fire! Enjoying the flames!
