New Links!

As you have seen by the work that has gone home and by last week's Weekly Math Review, we are exploring addition sentences and working on joining groups.  One game we suggested on our weekly letter is called Addition With Pictures.

Another site I have stumbled upon is called Children's Stories Online. There are a variety of stories you can listen to with your child.  The story is read aloud to your child with the words highlighted as they are read.  You can have your child follow along and read the trick words aloud with the narrator.  At the end, ask some questions about the story.  Here are some suggestions for questions:
*  Who are the characters in the story?
*  What is the setting of the story?
*  What was the problem in the story?
*  How did the problem get solved?
*  Make a text-to-self connection.  What in your life does the story remind you of?  Why?
*  Make a text-to-text connection.  What book does this story remind you of?  Why?

Feel free to leave a comment in the comment box.  Let me know what book you liked best or if you find another place to find stories online!  :0)
