Happy Birthday to Eli!

Reading and Writing

Today we had a reading/writing crossover. We have been using the Ways to Push Our Thinking prompts in writing to get us to say more when discussing characters from literature. Today we used those same prompts to discuss our book club books.  This helped them say more about their characters.
