Reading- Choose a nonfiction (real) book or an article from Raz Kids, Superkids, the library, book fair, etc. to read and create a Venn Diagram (Circles) about. You will be writing about similarities and differences like when we compared a household spider to a sea spider. Try and compare the same type of mammal for the Venn Diagram. For example compare and contrast your pet dog and a dog you read about, a polar bear and a panda bear, George Washington and you. Thus today you just have to choose the book or article.
