This week, we worked hard on our study of the sun, and more on citizenship and star qualities.
Your child has had their first guided reading group!Some students will work in guided reading groups daily, while others a few times a week. Each student has a colored folder within a clear gallon bag, which has some good comprehension questions to ask at home while reading! This bag and folder is to go back and forth from school daily, so students can read books at home with families and friends.
Please take a look inside tonight!
Have a fun and safe weekend!
