week 5

Dear families,


This is our second week learning about families.  This week we will be talking about the roles of different family members and how families change when a new baby comes.  Here are the books we will be reading this week.
 

We often reread books during our units, each time focusing on a different piece of literacy.  On our first read, we read the story verbatim, so that the students can hear the fluency and tone of text, use picture cues and foreshadowing in the text to make predictions about what will happen next, as well understanding the story line and develop concepts of beginning, middle, and end.  The second read is for students to participate in, looking at the pictures to retell the story in their own words, as well as reiterating important parts of the story line and relate our concepts of the week to the stories.  The third read is to talk about the feelings of the characters, how those feelings develop and change over the course of the story, and how situations change how a character feels.  

Monday-           OT group, speech group
