Character Scrapbook!

Good Afternoon Howe Families!

Today, I wanted to tell you about a wonderful tool offered by Scholastic called Character Scrapbook.

This interactive tool will help students identify and analyze different types of character traits for characters in both fiction and nonfiction books. When you are complete, you can print off and collect your scrapbook pages!
