About the event

DAY 1-READ

DAILY CONTENT & LEARNING ROTATIONS

Representation in Read Alouds

characters, authors, and themes build background knowledge and open a world of possibilities.

Reading Comprehension in Math!#%$

Kids struggle with what is being asked and said in math word problems. Reading and writing activities can help students analyze, interpret, and communicate mathematical ideas. Numeracy, like literacy, is key for students to access and make sense of their world.
