THE SCOOP ON-LINE

Small groups of kids made giant comic strips retelling the story they read this week. Retelling is a very important skill that helps with reading comprehension. As such, it is included on the Kansas State Reading Assessment that students will take this Spring. Students got to draw pictures then write a couple of sentences explaining their illustrations. The story was a really exciting one called Adventure on the Amazon. It was about a young girl and her parents who were touring the Amazon River in Brazil. I’m sure your fourth grader can easily explain her adventuress to you after completing this project.
