Reading This Week (and into next week)!

We have been reading the story, A Fine, Fine School, in class. We will have a test on this story on Tuesday, August 23 (comprehension and vocabulary). Students made flash cards for the story’s vocabulary words in class and should have them in their Take Home folder. As we read, we have been working on comprehension skills starting with predicting and questioning. We will also discuss story elements (character, setting, plot, problem, resolution) during this Quarter. 

You can study and read the story online by using the link provided below. Vocabulary words and definitions are also found below:
