Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a happy and restful Easter weekend with your families! Today’s story is The Kiss That Missed by David Melling. Be sure to test when you're done reading/listening (link below). I always have them read a book three times before testing!

 

This story is about a king who is always in a hurry.  He sends his royal knight to track down the kiss he blew at his son.  Throughout the story, the knight has many adventures in different places.  So, let’s focus on that.  The setting of the story is where a story sets place.  Some stories only have one setting, but some have more. 

 

Let’s start by folding your paper in half.  See the example below. Unfold it and trace the fold.  On one side write “castle.”  On the other side write “wild woods.”  Then list things and characters you see in each setting.  You can even illustrate what you list to incorporate art. 

 

*Extension Activity- Fantasy verses Reality:  Fold another paper in half and trace the fold.  Write “fantasy” at the top of one side and “reality” at the top of the other side.  What did you see in the story that made it a fantasy story?  What in the story could have been reality?  List or draw it on the correct side.

When you're done, you can snap a picture and email it to me at twiles@pearlk12.com!
