This week Grade 2 is reading a wonderfully fun book by Steven Kellogg called The Mysterious Tadpole. This is the wacky tale of a boy who gets a tadpole from his Scottish grandpa. In the end, the tadpole turns out to be much more. You can watch a short animated version of the book here. This book is a fun fantasy story assignment which will help us review story structure and begin talking about figurative language, our first writing lesson for our poetry unit this month.
