Ben began our lesson by recalling the key details from chapters 1 and 2 of "Flat Stanley." He connected to the story by telling how being 'flat' would be a pro and a con. After partner reading chapters 3 and 4, we discussed the main characters and what we have learned about them so far. We practiced making words using the 'mp' blend, and we used some silly pictures to discover the meanings of common idioms.
