Today Maya and I each read another fable from Level M Aesop's Fables to each other and then determined the moral for each story. Next, we began the prewriting stage for Maya's fable. She chose her animal characters and formulated a moral for her story. Then she her the voice of Miss Heidi:) She was so happy to see her. She was so excited, it was hard for her to stay focused on her writing, so we decided to go through and add all of her new work to her language arts binder. We also played "I'm Thinking" with the balloon.
