He starts making fun of the uniforms, where they sleep, etc. and everyone is sick of it, with some of the biggest games of their lives coming up they can't even act like a team. ====   Wordle ** What are the positives and negatives to working collaboratively to solve a problem? **

I used questioning when I was reading. That made me a better reading because I really thought about what was going to happen and that made me understand the book more.
