As we explore this Essential Question this week in our reading program, we are not only learning about traditions around the world, we are learning so much about our classmates and their family traditions. While reading from our leveled readers, Some students read a Realistic Fiction story about Diwali. I was excited to hear that some of our students celebrate this Holiday and share in similar traditions mentioned in the story.
What are your families traditions? What can we learn about your culture from them? It is an exciting time to be in our classroom, each day leads to new discoveries.
