Big Moon Tortilla

After reading Big Moon Tortilla to Ms. Acuna's kindergarten class, we went around the room and everyone shared "If they could be any animal, what would it be and why?" The class had some interesting ideas on the special abilities that different animals have. After discussing with the whole class, everyone drew a picture to represent themselves as their animal of choice, showing the animal's special abilities.
