Hello Families!
These are some of the stories we heard today! The Giving Tree is a very touching story, I actually began crying half way through it. 🙂 We had a really sweet discussion after it. This story was a very gentle way of teaching empathy. Thank you to Abeer, Ameer’s sister for sharing it with us.

Then we had some 5th grade friends use their time to come and read to us! They read a story called the “Creepy Pair of Underwear”.

We have also been practicing how to identify unknowns word in a text and ask about their meaning. “What does ____mean?”

Here is one to practice that skill with….

Thank you for all you do!
