Quarter 2 Focus

This quarter we are all about nonfiction texts.

Kids!! Get to the library and find some books that interest you!!

We will be focusing on these topics while reading:
     
      -Main Idea
      -Supporting Details
      -Summaries
      -Facts and Opinion
      -Author's Purpose
      -Information from Pictures
      -Cause and Effect

Parents: make sure you are asking students questions as they read. Here are a few questions:

What is the main topic?
Why do you think that is the main topic?
What happened in this story? What happened in this specific paragraph?
What are the facts in this story?
Does the author share any opinions?
Why did the author write this story?
What information does the picture tell you? Does the picture help you understand more of the text?
Why did a certain event happen? What caused an event?
What happened? Why did it happen?

As always, let me know if there are any issues, questions, or concerns.
