Kindergarten tells Freckle Juice stories

Kindergarten classes participated in a week-long Li’l Stories Lab, where they collaborated, created, captured, and shared stories. They had a lot of fun retelling the first two chapters they had read in Judy Blume’s Freckle Juice and predicting alternate endings for the text. Here are students’ predictions from May of 2018:
