Reality or Fantasy??? A Preview to Realistic Fiction!

Today we discussed and learned the difference between reality and fantasy.  Students brainstormed and wrote or drew a picture of an example for each. Students shared their examples with their peers and did a wonderful job!  We had fun sharing silly examples of "fantasy."  Ask your child examples of reality and fantasy at home! :)
