The first grade Fox unit continues. This week the children heard the story Flossie and the Fox by Patricia McKissack. In the tale, a sly, egg-loving fox is outfoxed by a clever young girl delivering a basket of eggs to a neighbor. Flossie pretends not know who or what the fox is. She says he has to prove that he is a fox and he cannot! This story was followed 
by the class participating in the reading of Hattie and the Fox by Mem Fox. Each student read the part of the animal he/she had colored the previous week. In this story, various farm animals repeatedly ignore Hattie the Hen when she warns them about the fox hiding in the bushes. Lucky for Hattie, that fox also gets outfoxed!
