Reading

Welcome to our next unit of study, “Past, Present, and Future.”We are beginning our seventh unit in Reader’s Workshop.

In this unit, we’ll explore how the past affects the present and future, by reading and comparing selections about historical events and people. For example, we’ll read a poem describing what children

played long ago compared to today, which will get us thinking about how children will play in the future. In addition to poetry, we’ll read a variety of genres including informational texts and realistic fiction.

I’m looking forward to this time-traveling unit, exploring with your child how the past influences the present and future. 

As always, should you have any questions about our reading program or about your child’s progress, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
