Reading




Today we started practicing reading. We are trying to build up our READING STAMINA so that we don't give up and can read for longer periods of time. Ask me what was the hardest part. 

We practiced using the reading strategy EAGLE EYE in order to improve our accuracy when we sound out words. Ask me if I can show you how it works with a book from home!










Today we had a special presentation in the gym from SAPPHIRE. It was all about BEAKERHEAD which is happening here in Calgary from September 13-September 17, 2017. Ask me what she did in the assembly and what my favorite part was?
