Today, Mrs. Levi's class blended some reading and writing.
First, they read a story: At the Library.
Then, they drew a picture of a library and things that can be found at the library. A few drew our school librarian! Last, they practiced being good listeners and good speakers. Each child stood up in front of the class and showed their picture.
The genre this week is informational text (detail, details, details). The class looked and listened for as many details as possible.
With the book fair fast approaching BRE has decided to start our very own book fairy program to help make sure ALL students can get a book to call their own! For more information about the program and how to donate please click the link below or reach out to Mrs.Fulton.
