Traits that describe characters in the story.

 

 

Wembery Worried and Chrysanthemum are both written by Kevin Henkes.  Both stories focus on the characters going to school.  Chrysanthemum was excited to go to school but had a negative experience.  Wemberly was worried about going to school and had a positive experience.  Both characters learned that it was okay to be themselves.  They both felt confident in the end. The students used these stories to make text to self connections.

We read "To Be a Kid".  We learned about children from around the world.  We determined that all children have similarities and differences.  We used post-its to identify these similarities and differences while reading the text together.  Then we used our thoughts and ideas to complete a writing assignment.
