Preparing for DRA testing! What to expect...

Today we read the book Rosie's Walk.  The kids illustrated their own book and made two stick puppets: a hen and a fox.  We read the our books and used the puppets to practice prepositional words (over, under, through, around, etc.) 

Please have your child retell the story to you tonight without the use of the book.  We will begin DRA (reading) assessments next week.
