When our first
grade class listened to The Wild Toboggan Ride by Suzan Reid and
Eugenie Fernandes for the first time, we laughed and laughed! There were
so many great characters. But who were the most important ones? We
decided that they were Grandpa Dan and Nicki. It was fun to think of
words that described them. That Grandpa Dan - he was always saying
something funny like "Fiddlesticks to snow!" He seemed pretty
grumpy, especially at the beginning of the story. Nicki was a
"regular" kid just like us, we decided. She liked snow a lot,
and she was pretty nice. What if we pretended to be either Grandpa Dan
or Nicki? What would we like? Where would we live? What would we eat?
Have fun reading our thoughts! |
