Retelling

This week we focused on retelling. Retelling is when you tell a story again. You have to include the title, the names of the characters, the setting, and the events. Mrs. Sullivan read us "Pigs Make Me Sneeze" by Mo Willems. We retold it to our partner. We retold it as if our partner had never heard the story before. We focus on retelling because it shows if we understand the book and helps others understand. Ask your third grader to retell the story to you at home!
