Retell the Story*
Use the following story elements to retell the story:
Who are the main characters? How do you know?
What is the setting of the story or where does it take place?
What happens in the story? What problem/s do the main characters have? How do they solve those problems?
How does the story end?
*Use the text provided or choose your favorite read aloud. Retelling is an important comprehension still for students still learning to decode. Read Alouds also model fluent reading for students.
Today's activities also focus on using manipulatives to build locomotor skills and body control.
