Hola Parents and Guardians!
RazKids is back! Login information can be found on our Google Classroom. We encourage all students to use this wonderful platform to read at home in both English and Spanish. They can listen to a book be read to them, or read it independently, or both!
In class, we will be using RazKids to read books on the topics we are exploring at times, we will ask students to record themselves reading in English and Spanish, and we are also using RazKids as part of our Spanish guided reading groups.
Students have been split up into 4 groups of 7 students each, and they will work on a different station, of our 4 stations in Spanish guided reading each week. The stations are: Read to self, Read to someone, Read with the teacher, and record yourself reading an assigned book (and do the comprehension quiz that follows) on Raz Kids. As we are working hard on growing our reading comprehension. students will also have some follow-up written work to do, such as short summaries which identify the most important information in the story they read (main characters, problem, solution, etc.)
IMPORTANT UPDATES:
A reminder that Friday, October 28 is a non-instruction day with no school for all students.
