Happy Monday!! Today's reading assignment is Mango, Abuela, and Me by Meg Medina. Be sure to test when you're done reading/listening (link below). I always have them read a book three times before testing!
This story is filled with culture! It's such a sweet story about a girl who really struggles with developing a relationship with her grandmother who doesn't speak her language. Even as a child, she works hard to find ways that she and her grandmother can commuicate with each other. I want you to focus on the efforts she makes as you read/listen to this story. Think about how they start off, how it ends, and what all they do to help each other in between. Fold your paper into four sections and at the top, label them like the picture below. This is similar to the Beginning-Middle-End activity from Friday, but we focus A LOT on story elements and retelling in first grade. The more practice they get with these skills, the better they'll be at recalling and retelling the stories they read. It's also laying a great foundation for an organized writer! You're going to write how the story starts in the first column and how it ends in the last column. In the two middle columns, focus on what Mia and Abuela do to communicate with each other. My example is below! **Extension Activity- Divide your paper into as many sections as you want (at least six). In each box, write a spanish word from the book along with the English word to match. Draw a picture to help you remember the word! You can even cut these out into flashcards and practice your Spanish with them! You can start with these words: pasas, pluma, abuela, abuelo, loro, and carne. Feel free to add more! When you're done, you can snap a picture and email it to me at [email protected]!
