Today we read Hey, Little Ant by Phillip and Hannah Hoose. We read it as a way to talk and start writing about our opinion. In the book, the boy is faced with the decision about whether or not he should squish the ant. The ant and the boy each give reasons as to the decision at hand.
Next students worked in partners to create a list of reasons to squish and not to squish. It was harder than it looked. Last, students made their choice and wrote a paragraph to tell their opinion and reasons. Ask your child about what he/she thought the boy should do.
