This week we will be finishing Module 1 entitled, “what makes us who we are”. We will finish working on “Yes! We are Latino” and move on to “Kitoto the Mighty”. We will focus on learning to recognize the characteristics of a folktale, retell events, gain exposure to literary elements, identify theme, and analyze the author’s craft.

We are continuing our first reading and writing unit called, "What Makes Us Who We Are?". We finished reading "Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures", and are using the text to help us explore the central idea of a text, how to ask and answer questions, the author's purpose, text and graphic features, and figurative language.
