Spookley, the Square Pumpkin

We read The Legend of Spookley, the Square Pumpkin by Joe Troiano.  We talked about the setting and the characters.   

                                                                                     

     

We also worked together to retell the story including the problem and the solution.  Small groups illustrated one part of the story retell and shared with the rest of the class.  Story mapping is a skill that we will be working on all year as we develop important comprehension skills.

It took teamwork to illustrate this story map.
