Hafa adai Readers!
I hope you had a relaxing weekend :) Again, I apologize for having to cancel class. I do hope you were able to use this time to start with some of your class projects.
For next Saturday, the first half of the class will be a presentation and analysis on picture books. Please bring 3-5 picture books of your choice. Reading chapters 2, 3, and 12 would also make this task go smoothly. The other half of the class will be on appropriate graphic organizers to extend comprehension.
If you were suppose to present a book talk or read aloud, we will make it a point to squeeze in those presentations that day.
See you soon!
Ms. Kathy
P.S Please send me an email of your reflection on Freedom Writers before Friday.

“Educators today, … agree that all students benefit from opportunities to read and respond to a wide variety of literature. Yes, contrary to popular belief, older students can and do learn from picture books!”
