Compare and Contrast

We've been using Venn diagrams to compare and contrast. Today, we read a passage abour alligators and crocodiles and then compared and contrasted the two. I told the kids that part of their homework tonight was to think about how apples and oranges are alike and different. They might need your help to jump start their thinking! They are going to make their own Venn diagram very soon to compare apples and oranges.
