Love, Love, Love!!!! This was my go to source through out the entire book. My students loved the activities and I was able to assess them easily.

Toni Ann

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The students were able to have discussions in small groups and stay focused on the topic. They used these sheets to guide their conversations and learn how each person answered the questions. Thanks for putting together a great resource that my 4th graders could learn how to facilitate a conversation and provide meaningful comments in a group setting.
