My name is Ms. Becca Mazur and this is my second year teaching. I have been at Trevista in three different classrooms as a student teacher and paraprofessional prior to becoming a classroom teacher. I am so excited to continue working here with your students. I was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado and graduated from CU Denver in December of 2023. I love to play sports, including softball, kickball, and pickleball, read, and spend time with my family and friends.

In reading and writing, we are working on animal classification. Students are writing informational pieces comparing and contrasting different ways to classify animals. They are also going to write a narrative from the perspective of an animal.
In phonics skills, we are learning new prefixes and suffixes to change the meaning of root words. Students are also learning about spelling rules with these affixes.
Conversation starters
Ask your student questions about the unit to promote discussion and continued learning:
1. Who were the main characters in your reading today?
Follow up: What are some adjectives you would use to describe those characters?
2. Where did the story you read today take place?
Follow up: How would you describe that setting?
3. What are themes? (broad ideas that come up many times over the course of a story
or book)
Follow up: What are some of the recurring themes that you have noticed in the
stories you have been reading or in the stories your teacher has been reading to
you?
4. What are some new words you have learned in class or in your reading?
Follow up: Can you use that word in a sentence for me? I will try to use it in a sentence too!
5. Whose perspective was your Read-Aloud told from today?
Follow up: How did you know that? What happened in the story from a different character's perspective?
