Toothpaste Millionaire Day 5 Lesson 4

​

​Readers, I am so proud of the way you’ve learned to identify story elements as you read.  We will continue to practice this today as we read the next chapters in The Toothpaste Millionaire.  Today we are going to start a new part of our module.  In this section you will learn to become close observers of the characters in our books.  We will learn many important ways to get to know the characters in our books.
