Our Bird Mental Images

Ms. Hanus helped us learn that strong readers make mental images while reading. We recently read the book Birds by Kevin Henkes and found ourselves making many mental images while listening to the story.

Next we used the iPad app "Drawing Pad" to help us illustrate those strong metal images. Sharing these mental images helped us understand the story.

Our Bear Songs with Songify
