We are Learning
Reading
Last week in reading, we've been focusing on the characters we read about in a book series. We have noticed that the character in one book stays the same in other books in the same series such as Junie B. Jones or Jack and Annie in the Magic Tree House book series. We will continue this discussion next week and dig deeper!.
