Reading We have been working this week with the reading strategy cause and effect. We read passages from the book How To Be A Friend by Laurie Krasny Brown and Marc Brown. Students completed a web graphic organizer. Using evidence from the text, they had to provide possible causes of why 2 friends were friends for 3 years. Next week students will write an opinion piece explaining the qualities of a good friend. Students will use evidence from the texts read in our friendship unit.
Reading Logs December reading logs went home on Monday. Please continue to read and help your child record minutes in their reading folder. Don't forget to record minutes in your Six Flags log too!
We had our November READING CELEBRATION on Tuesday. We celebrated with lunch in the classroom, a Magic School Bus Video and freeze pops. Students were also given a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Way to go readers!!
