Caterpillar Book Reports

The students have been working hard the past month on these book reports. They included predictions, main characters, problems, solutions, settings, questions, and personal responses. They turned out GREAT!!

Macy's Day Parade Balloons

We have been working hard using our Comprehension Toolkit. Last week we read Balloons over Broadway. It is a book about how the Macy's Day Parade started. As part of our toolkit we used questioning and sequencing to create our own balloons for the parade.
