It’s free on Prime and is rated G. -Tori]]> 2022-10-29 14:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaring/i0hd1nvp6ix4/wish/2361525778 Review https://padlet.com/mwaring/i0hd1nvp6ix4/wish/2361743570 Using an engaging video, we do a shared writing and answer questions that reflect what will be asked in the benchmark. I made this and am happy to share it. - Jody]]> 2022-10-29 22:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaring/i0hd1nvp6ix4/wish/2361743570 Benchmark Review - Frisbey https://padlet.com/mwaring/i0hd1nvp6ix4/wish/2362493486 Read a semi-Halloween story called, The Hairy Toe.
Students are rewriting the story in a different perspective (the giant).
I also have benchmark-type questions for them to complete on a Google Form.]]> 2022-10-31 01:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaring/i0hd1nvp6ix4/wish/2362493486 We read, "A Monkey's Paw" which actually used similar vocab such as to "let a house." This was helpful.
