Cardae Character Analysis

Cardae- he did an excellent job with writing the names of the animals. He filled in every line in the correct place. His animal he chose was a lemming. He spelled it “laming” this was with him sounding it out. He got 5/7 letters correct in the spelling. His picture matched the poster we use for behavior. I thought it was cute how he made the connection. He followed the format of the story we read to write his own part. He did very well on this assignment.
