Tejvir- markers
Haniyya- bananas
Theodore- crayons
Eleen- money

Today, the class read the story, The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds. The story is about Jerome who enjoys collecting words that he saw, heard, and read.
For a reading response to the story, the students collected their own words and wrote them down.
Here is a YouTube link to the story: https://youtu.be/gmqTgDoWOC8
Extension: What other words are you able to collect in your community?
