Tell Me All About It!

Dear Girls and Boys,
I know you've been working hard at school. What is your favorite project right now? You can tell me about something you are working on in our class (like what you are working on in writing workshop, reading workshop, or math groups) or something in music, art, science or even PE! I want to know what you are excited about and why! Please add details. I look forward to reading your posts! 
Love,
Mrs. Kottler

Read Aloud Reflection


 

Hi boys and girls! I cannot wait to hear your thoughts about
our class read aloud, How to Steal a Dog, by Barbara O'Connor.
Mrs. Dewhurst tells me that you just read the part where Georgina makes her "how to steal a dog" plan come true. She steals Willy and leaves him on the old porch!
Georgina's family is in a tough situation. She is trying to help. What do you think about her decision to steal a dog in order to help her family? Is she right, wrong or both? Please write a few sentences about your thinking. Georgina chooses not to tell her friends or teachers about her situation. Who would you talk to if you had a tough decision to make?
