Your child came home with name writing practice today.  Please use this as a guide when working with your child. 

Today we read a story called I Love School.

Prior to reading we activated our schema. We asked ourselves-"What do I already know about school." We also discussed the characters, setting, author, and illustrator as we read.  We learned that setting change in stories.  When we remember a story and tell it in our own words we are retelling.  As you are reading with your child encourage activating schema, discuss the characters, setting, and events.  Ask- "does this remind you of something in your life?" When we make connections, we remember what we read.  Stay tuned for a video of our song!
