OUR FIRST CHAPTER BOOK TOGETHER

Today we started reading our first chapter book, "How Tia Lola Came to Stay." This a different book because it is written in two languages (English and Spanish). The students learned that the character, Tia Lola AND one of our students, Kendall is from the Dominican Republic.

In Chapter 1, we find out that Tia Lola is helping Miguel and Juanita's mother who is recently divorced. We had a discussion about how different all families are. It was nice to hear them open up and share their feelings.

Everyone had a chance to read with their partners. As I was walking around, I was so proud of them!! They really DO take reading serious!!!
