Shout out to Austen that took the lead today by reading a chapter of Hatchet aloud to Mrs. Morrison’s ELA class—he did an awesome job using expression and a great reading voice! 📖👏 After reading, he used sketches to break down an important scene and explain how that moment impacted the theme of the text. Such a fun way to combine reading, creativity, and deeper thinking! ✏️💡
