I loved working through this lesson! The way Martina used different methods to keep the reading interesting as students read progressively more challenging versions of the story. Also, my students loved the game!

I used this as a story starter for writing, the students chose what they ate and wrote about it, also, we are learning about animals so it was nice to have them in the story!

I ALWAYS rely on Martina's resources to be high quality, varied, and engaging. This was a new addition for me to use with the Somos curriculum and my students enjoyed it. Lots of options for use. Thank you.
