La Lectura
We would like to invite parents to come see our Thanksgiving Play on Friday, November 22nd at 2:30. The play is divided into three parts and students are encouraged to dress their ‘part’. They can practice reading at home (and count this toward their reading minutes).
This week we have really continued to focus on our reading strategies with the Thanksgiving play. We have worked on word identification, cause & effect, inference, and visualization.
Please be sure to have your child continue to read at home, using their bookmark to help them with comprehension strategies.
