Today we are going to read a book called Last Stop On Market Street by Matt De La Pena. This book is about a character name CJ who explores the town by bus with his nana. While exploring, he learns a valuable lesson. As we read today, I want you to think about what the author wants us to learn from this story.

When waiting on the bus CJ sees the two boys listening to the music player and wishes he had one. CJ also wishes that he and Nana had a car. Is it bad that the boys have a music player and CJ doesn’t? Is it bad that Nana and CJ don’t have a car but others do? Why or why not?
