Family & traditions

Today, we did silent skits to practice Seedfolks vocabulary. Then, we shared our family artifacts from last night's homework. We glued these artifacts to the pizza boxes and began the written explanation for each artifact we've brought in. We talked about what it means to make CONNECTIONS when reading and the three types of connections we can make (text-self, text-text, text-world). Then, we read the Leona chapter of Seedfolks and practiced making connections.

Homework: Bring in an artifact to represent your family's customs or traditions.
