This week’s focus question is: What makes a friend? Think about this and create a list of what you feel makes a great friend. Then, keep your list it in mind as you complete each of your daily tasks. If you find information that relates to your list or question, remember to include the following:
· the idea or thought that sparked your interest
· where you found it
Please find your daily task breakdown below. I will monitor your guided reading results and offer feedback where necessary. Remember the Read Aloud option is available for all articles posted. If you have questions, email me: paula.davidson@nbed.nb.ca
