Reading Class
In November we have been reading the book Old Yeller. Students have been sharing their thoughts and opinions about the book as well as answering questions to show comprehension. They also read an article about Hydrophobia, an old term for rabies. They worked in partners to write down what they learned and some specifics about symptoms and vaccinations used to treat the disease.
