Well and not so well

Well and Not So Well

One thing that I am doing well at is reading. In my group I enjoy reading out loud because I like reading at my own pace. One thing I think im not doing well at is sometimes I get distracted from others around me and it puts me of doing my work.

The Dove and the Ant


When  I was watching the video of the poem It showed a two creatures, an Ant and a Dove. The ant was stranded on something in the stream, the Dove flew down with some grass and saved the little ant. The dove shows true kindness. The went up to the tree and a man came a,ong with a slingshot he wanted to hit the poor dove. The Ant stuck up for the dove and stung the man on the foot. The ant stuck up for the dove and saved the dove.

This poem showed Love and courage.
