In Amazing Grace, we’re reading about a girl who loves to act out stories. Grace wants to be Peter Pan in her class play. Kids in the class tell her that she can’t be Peter because Grace is a girl. Another girl tells Grace she can’t be Peter because she’s African American. Grace stops believing she can get the part and tells her family. We wonder what will happen next. We see how one thing makes another thing happen.

This week, we're reading First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg. The story is about Sarah, who doesn’t want to get out of bed and go to her new school.  We will be learning about character, setting, and plot this week in reading. We're keeping track of who is in the story, where and when it takes place, and what happens.  This story has a very funny ending.
