Today we read "Hey, Little Ant." The story is a dialogue between a boy and an ant about if the boy should step on the ant. It ends with the question what should the boy do? After reading the book we brainstormed reasons for why the boy should or shouldn't step on the ant! Then we each wrote what we thought the boy should do and gave three reasons why. Ask me if I would step on the ant and why or why not?
