CIRCLE STORIES

Do you know what a circle story is?  Maybe not, but you probably know these books!  If you think about the plot of each of Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond's book they start off in one place and end up right back where they started.  Check it out!

If you give a moose a muffin, he will probably want some jam to go with it. After a puppet show and a big mess he remembers he really just wanted a muffin with some blackberry jam.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he will probably want a glass of milk to go with it. After a hair cut and a whole lot of cleaning, he remembers he really just wanted a glass of milk and cookies.

If you take a mouse to the movies, he will probably want some popcorn. After a snowball fight and a decorated Christmas tree, he remembers he just wanted popcorn at the movies!

If you give a pig a pancake, she will probably want some syrup to go with it. After a tap dance and a brand new tree house, she remembers she really just wanted pancakes and syrup.

This week, we created some of our very own circle stories.  We mapped and planned and finally started writing.  It was a challenge to make the story go in a circle AND make sense, but it was also really fun!  Here's a peek at us working on and sharing some of our very own circle stories.
