Thanksgiving is just a week away. Many of us will spend time with family and friends. This holiday gives us time to think about what we are grateful for. Please share some of the people and things that fill your heart with gratitude! Write at lease 3 sentences please.
In our read-aloud How to Steal a Dog by Barbara O'Connor, Georgina's family has fallen on hard times. Georgina wants to help her family have a place to live. Her family needs money. She plans to steal a dog in order to get the reward money so she can pay for apartment rent.
Stealing is against the law. Do you think Georgina's plan is good or bad? Do you think it is ever okay to do something bad in order to do something good? Please share your thoughts on this complicated situation.
We have had the privilege of meeting and listening to three fantastic authors in the last two weeks!
Katherine Applegate is a Newbery Award winner for The One and Only Ivan and Laura Vaccaro Seeger is a 2- time Caldecott Honor Winner for Green and First the Egg. We also met Ralph Fletcher, author, poet and writing teacher. Please write about two things that you learned, thought was interesting, or stood out in your mind from each author.
