Learners will begin by sharing their favorite stuffy with one another.  During the read aloud, we will discuss author, illustrator, story elements, make predictions, share our connections with Thelma the Unicorn, learn to to use our hand for a five finger re-telling of the story and share it.  We will conclude with a directed draw of Thelma the Unicorn, color our drawing and share our masterpieces with one another.  We will wrap up by reviewing the five finger re-telling together and learners are encouraged to share with their families.
