Yertle+the+Turtle+Visits+First+Grade

=Welcome to Hooville!=













Our teacher was reading //Yertle the Turtle//. We all liked it. Yertle the Turtle wanted to be high up in the air in the book. //Yertle the Turtle// wanted to be high up and on one page a turtle was tired and so Yertle the Turtle fell. This book is a narrative book because Yertle the Turtle wanted to be the king of everything and then a turtle named Mack was on the bottom and he was tired and he burped. This book has a complication and a resolution.

A girl is reading with Yertle the Turtle. Yertle is listening to the book and at the end of the book he liked it.

= Dear Explore-orrs, =

=== Thank you for writing us back. Horton liked the Patricia Polacco book, __Emma Kate__, today. He liked it because one of the main characters is an elephant. Also, Patricia Polacco wrote at the end that she loved the book Horton Hatches an Egg when she was little. Also, she had an elephant for an imaginary friend. Do any of you have imaginary friends? ===

The Wonderful Ones
P.S. This is the book that Horton liked so much today.

Yertle was helping students with their writing. Other people got to write with the fish. Yertle sat down and helped his friends write the words.

We read the letter that Yertle the Turtle wrote to us.
