Clever Readers!

In Room 4, we have been working on using good reading comprehension strategies. Today Escher, Ben and Regan read the story Rumpelstiltskin. They were learning to SUMMARIZE the story so after they read the story, they completed a story pyramid. They had to work together and share their ideas. They worked really hard on their activity. Well done boys!
