Reading

This week students read "Trickster Tales" from our anthologies during whole group reading time.  Students identified the "trickster(s)" in these stories, as well as character traits of the trickster.  They also analyzed the trick, and the result/end of the story.  Sometimes the tricks worked as planned, though in one story the trickster ended up getting tricked back!  These were fun stories to read - ask your child to summarize one of them for you.

Also - a reminder that we'd like each student to spend time reading at home every night.  Help your child record minutes read on his/her reading log, and return the log to school to earn reading rewards.
