Today we continued to read Gathering Blue and students worked with their discussion partner to understand certain characters and plot points.  We also reviewed for the upcoming verbs/grammar assessment by going over changes in verb tense and introductory elements.  Students concluded ELA/SS time by working on their group reports.
