Grace's new flyer for the band from "Bud, Not Buddy" Fourth grade language arts students have been spending the last few weeks reading about courageous young boys. Through our study of the books, "Bud, Not Buddy" and "Hatchet," both of my groups of seven kids have entered the world of either 1936, jazz-era Michigan and summer in the remote northern Canadian wilderness. At first glance, I don't think the two groups saw any connection between their two stories. Upon analysis in the end, however, we explored the similar character traits these boys had that allowed them to survive the situations life threw their way. To wrap up our reading, question-answering, and discussion, the groups both were allowed to choose two creative projects to explore the stories further. The kids' work was (as always!) awesome.
