Our Reading Focus for Oct 19th-23rd

This week we will explore a special kind of neighborhood-the classroom! We'll consider the question "How is a school like a community?" We'll begin with Teacher's Pets, a realistic fiction story about Miss Fry's classroom. It's a lively place for students and animals alike! Then we'll See Westburg by Bus! as we read an informational text about this interesting community.
