Today we learned that author's sneak lessons into their books when we aren't expecting them :). They try to teach us how to be kind, follow rules, be a good friend and so much more. Some stories, like fables, tell us the moral. Some authors don't tell us, we have to use clues to figure out the lesson. We practiced finding the lessons of several stories today. We did a free write while some students finished their movie writing and we learned about the value of a digit in math. The digit's value is determined by the place it is in. We were very busy!
