Story Elements.. Collaborative Poster

Students working collaboratively to identify the story elements within "Neighbors".. a chapter within Poppleton... Our class took their time to decide who would complete each part.. each student took their time to write carefully and neatly.. they asked each other how to spell certain words.. and worked to make sure each person had room to write.. Our class works extremely hard to have a kind and considerate school family!!!
