I hope that you had a nice October! For our Reading Center classes, we read several books by WV author, Cynthia Rylant and discussed the different styles of books that she writes. She is a very versatile author! We also listened to some Halloween books and talked about the elements of each story (characters, setting, plot, problem/solution).
In the month of November, we will be listening to different Native American legends and discussing the tradition of storytelling among tribes. We will focus on a specific tribe with each legend that we read. For example, when we read a legend from the Cherokee tribe we will also discuss their lifestyle, geographic location and any special traditions they may have. I hope to incorporate some fun activities throughout the month as well.
All students have now had the opportunity to check out books. Please help your child remember that the book should stay in their backpack or desk when they are not being read. That way the books will be there when the opportunity comes to check out another book. Have a wonderful month!
