Your weekend assignment

Posted by burcuakyol on 30th April 2009

You were asking when we would use our Extra Practice Books. Let’s start by reading the story in it. (The Sing-Song Tale of Old Man Kangaroo by Rudyard Kipling)

Pull the story out and fold the cover. Then cut the fold at the top to make the book. If you want to, staple the pages together.

Read the story and write a short summary in your notebooks. 5-7 sentences would be enough..

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
