Reading with the Ladybugs

This week the Wildcats got a chance to share their very own folktales with the Ladybugs.  They spent an hour reading their stories and helping their young schoolmates write their own stories.  They did an excellent job showing their understanding of how to write a story and patiently teaching their Ladybug partners how to write a good story.
