About the event
A student favorite, this unit study explores Katherine Applegate's Wishtree, a story of a tree, told by the tree. With short chapters and a structure that encourages daily reading, this workshop encourages students to look at their neighborhood and the great outdoors through different eyes. While we accompany Red and the animals and people who love in and around the old oak on their adventure, we will complete our own nature projects, including a plant collection.
Wishtree's Lexile level is 590L, and it is written in a gentle manner that makes it easy for younger and struggling readers to stay engaged while older students can pursue more complicated themes, making it a great family book.
The Workshop meets virtually for 45 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 1:00-1:45 (Pacific Time).
