We have been talking about making connections between the stories we read and our own lives. This is one of the many strategies we will learn this year to help us better understand what we read.
After reading a story called, Roxaboxen by Alice McLerran, we had a great discussion about it, everyone enjoyed the story and we moved on.
But...on Friday we went outside to gather sticks for an upcoming activity and the students discovered an area covered with leaves. They named it Leaf -a-boxen and began making all sorts of connections from the book to what they were doing at that moment!!! It was fantastic!!!! Ask your child to tell you about Roxaboxen and Leafaboxen!
