WE'RE GOING ON A LEAF HUNT
This book is great for story mapping! The characters head to different places to collect leaves...only to turn quickly around and head back again. I use this interactive chart for story sequencing {all pieces are attached with Velcro, so students can put the pictures in order AND change the directions of the arrows}
