While discussing activities that we did on March Break, Cole shared with us that his Grandpa told him about Opossums. This lead to the reading of the story Possum Magic. We also did some research on possums. We discovered that in the Australia, where Possum Magic takes place, the animals are possums. In North America, the animal is called opposum, although many people simply call them possums, either is correrct. We also looked at a world map to see how far Australia is. Next week we will do more research.
Below, you can link to the Youtube reading of Possum Magic:
