Poetry Out Loud and Reading D

We began the day reviewing the characters we looked at on Thursday, and we wrapped up the day reading some of Reading D (through p. 51).
In between, I briefly introduced the Poetry Out Loud project, which is posted at Google Classroom and which will be our focus after Thanksgiving. Students who want to get a head start certainly may.
Students should finish reading D and do two SMMs and two vocab words for homework.
