Santa

Before our winter break I read the book, How Santa Got His Job, to my class. It's a cute story about the various jobs Santa had that led him to his current job delivering presents on Christmas Eve. My kids got quite into the story, making connections as to how the different jobs helped him learn something that he does in his job now. After the story, Chase raised his hand (which doesn't happen too often - usually he just shouts out his thoughts) and said, "I know, so this book is a non-fiction book!"

I guess I'll leave that one up to Mom and Dad to teach.

Do you learn what is fiction and non-fiction in 1st grade?! Heck, I didn't get that until college. :) Always mixed them up :)

No kidding - the things they learn in first grade now. Half of it I have had to learn before I teach it!
