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.
