The students wrote with picture symbols, words and /or tactile symbols a summary of the story.

The students were very engaged and LOVED being able to explore and see the fire truck at the end of the presentation!      This week we are beginning our next adapted story: Mr. Popper's Penguins!  Have a great week!
