I love using this book to discuss differences in how the characters were feeling in the beginning of the story and how those feelings changed in the end of the story and why.
This is also a great book to discuss weather and our opinions about weather, which is what we did today. After reading the story, we made a t-chart together and listed all of the things we like to do on sunny days and the things we like to do on rainy days. Then, the students had to decide which type of weather they liked the best.
Once they decided, my kids then wrote about their opinions. We have been talking a lot about what they need when they write about their opinion. They did a great job including all of the parts they needed!
