October was a fun month in the Reading Center! We read Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl in grades 3-5. The younger students enjoyed several fall books as we discussed fiction and non-fiction selections. We also enjoyed some Halloween stories!
As we move into November, we will be focusing on Native American legends. With Thanksgiving approaching, I believe the students will enjoy exploring this genre. We will focus on the character traits in these legends, where often a particular character overcomes some type of adversity or weakness. Some of the titles we will explore are The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush, The Legend of the Bluebonnet, and The Girl Who Loved Horses. We will discuss Native American lifestyles and their unique culture. I hope the students find enjoyment in the activities that will accompany these stories.
Please continue to talk to your children about what they are reading. Also, ask them if they have any missing books from the Reading Center. Often, other students are waiting to check out the very book that another students has. I hope you have a wonderful November!
