English Language Arts/Reading
Our reading groups are well under way. This week we start our lessons in fluency and close reading. Each kiddo will be part of a play; we are doing three different plays in our classroom. Your child will read from a script and practice using expression. We will ACT for the class on Friday.
Please make sure that your children are reading every day at home. My boys like to read for 15-20 minutes before they turn their lights out at bedtime. It doesn't have to be a chapter book-- magazines, non-fiction books, or any other type of print is awesome and builds reading muscles!
