Good morning! It is the first day of April! I hope this means warmer weather is on its way. I am posting a weekly lesson you can follow for reading. These lessons include many of the strategies we were learning in class.

This week, we will continue to read literature and ask and answer questions about the key details in text. Remember, a key detail is an important part of the story. When we ask a question, we usually begin with words such as: Who, What, Where, Why, and How. First, I will post a read aloud of Sheila Rae the Brave. After that, I will post a powerpoint where you will answer questions about that story and finally, there is a review powerpoint where you will decide whether a word has the /ch/ or /sh/ digraph. Have a great day!
