Funded Dec 5, 2019Already day 2 of receiving our books and the students are locating sight words within them. They are really excited to learn how to decode the unfamiliar words and read the words they already have learned.
Reading in our classroom consist of students reading the words they know on the page and using their imagination to make up the story based off of the pictures. They have been taught to answer questions such as "what do you wonder and what do you notice about the pictures and/or the words in the story". They are having amazing conversations among themselves about the books.
I have 2 students who are excellent readers and have enjoyed getting to read a few of the new books aloud to the class. They get excited when I ask them to read one of our new books.
Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. This project not only helps my current students but will continue to do so for many years to come.”
With gratitude,
