Third grade is wrapping up our reading of Because of Winn Dixie. The kids are loving this story!
Here are some of the things we are focusing on toward the end of the book:
- continued work of theme (loneliness, abandonment, friendship, family, forgiveness)
- noticing the struggles of secondary characters
- finding similarities in secondary characters and the main character
- seeing how relationships can change and grow
- learning lessons through the advice Opal is getting from the other characters
- saying how Opal's life is changed because of Winn Dixie
On Wednesday, December 23rd, the third grade will be watching the Because of Winn Dixie movie and comparing it to the book!
