Reading Unit

We have been discussing day and night sky in our Reading/ Language Arts Unit. The students have heard a variety of texts about day and night, watch short video clips, as well as to draw and write about what information that they are able to recall. One of the books that we have read is "Papa, please get the moon for me", by Eric Carle. The students really seemed to enjoy reading this text. After reading the text the students were able to write "If I had the moon I would..." The students came up with some interesting responses and I loved reading them all. I would encourage you to ask your child what their favorite part of the story was and then take it a step further and ask him/ her why that was their favorite.
