Reading with Mrs. Bender

Reading Yumi and Halmoni's Trip was the story in our anthology this week.  It was a story about a little girl traveling to Seoul, Korea with her grandmother (Halmoni).  Skills this week focused on identifying the character's feelings during events in the story.  We discussed how they would feel traveling to a country where they didn't know the language and how would that feel.  Skills focused on summarizing, identifying feelings using their prior knowledge and inferencing skills.
