My Project

We are learning about facts and opinions. Our goal is to write an opinion story. I am using these books as mentor texts to help my students develop their own opinions. They loved discussing if they would like to be sticky like a honeybee or have bright feathers like a Scarlet Macaw.

I would like to provide more books for them to read and explore about animals and if they want animal parts.

It would be nice to have a class set to share with these students as well as other classes in the future.
