St. Patrick's Day Reading Activities and Read Across America Week

 My class always has a fun time reading!  We have been busy practicing how to retell the main events of the story in sequential order, creating and answering questions using text evidence from the story, and summarizing what they read.  Above you will see a picture of our fun St. Patrick's Day themed reading creations!  My students are holding their St. Patrick's' Day Question Cookies where they created questions about the story they read and then had a partner from their group answer their questions.  I always tell my students that when they create their questions, their partner must be able to use text evidence from the story to find the answer to their question.
