What's your opinion?

We read a book called last week called, Hey, Little Ant. In the story, a boy comes across an ant and is has to make the decision to squish him or let him go free. This book gave us some great perspective and allowed us to empathize with the ant after hearing his point of view. After we read the story we talked a bit about what we would do. Kiddos then were asked to write their opinion based on the questions below. This prompt by far gave us some of the best writing that we have done all year. Below you will see a few examples of our opinions and reasons as to what we would do. You can click on the pictures to enlarge them. We would love to hear from you as well... what would you do?
