Literacy Essentials
Announcements
We are making progress with the book and have read through Chapter 5 thus far. Students are doing well with our vocabulary activities. They especially enjoyed our recent vocabulary practice with Kahoot -- always a favorite! Students are identifying main ideas for each chapter from the perspective of Nya and Salva. The story is a dual narrative: each chapter follows both main characters as they face problems growing up in South Sudan. Ask your student to share with you what has happened to each character so far in the novel!
Also this week we spent time this week working to identify nouns. Students will provide individual nouns related to the fall on our "tree" in the classroom. Many thanks to Mrs. Travis, WMS teacher assistant, for her excellent craftwork with our classroom tree! We will build on our understanding of parts of speech throughout the year.
