The purpose of the SSYRA Program is for students to read books for pleasure that are on, above, and/or below their reading level. Please note that these books are chosen for students in grades Kindergarten - 2nd grade by the Florida Media Teacher
SSYRA committee. These make great read aloud stories for home and discussion. I will be highlighting a few of them this year in class to teach Lifeskills and our school theme of "Don't Worry, Be Happy." One such example is "When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree" by Jamie LB Deenihan. A fun way to review the cliche, "when life gives you lemons....make lemonade." I will present our class with an indoor lemon tree to be a daily reminder for our class family.
