This year's classroom theme is Chronicles of Narnia!
I've created table groups based on the mythical creatures in the land: fauns, centaurs, dwarves, and unicorns.

| Table points have always been a big hit! |
Since each book is fairly short (compared to Harry Potter), I'm hoping to read nearly the entire series. We've started with The Magician's Nephew and everyone seems to really like it so far!
I always like to include a group activity within the first week to allow table groups to learn about each other, and figure out how to work together. I found this fun game called "See, Run, Do". In this activity, someone sees a picture and describes it to another student. This person then has to "run" to the next person and tell them what was described to them. The "Do" person has to draw what is being described. This activity involves listening and communicating, which is so important when you are working in a group. My students actually really enjoyed the activity. Here's the picture they had, and the drawings they completed:
I'm looking forward to another magically filled year!
"Narnia, Narnia, awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters."
