Learning this week:

In our first unit,  the children will read texts about children who face challenges with access to education. This week, we introduced the topic, the children selected research reading books on this topic, and began to talk in small groups explaining why they chose their books. The children also learned how to select a book that is just right for them.  The students are learning to read for the gist, answer questions referring explicitly to the text, as well as  identify and write about the lesson, moral, or central message of a story.
