READING
The students will read an informational short story about two baseball giants entitled, The Griffeys. We will focus on the author's purpose and the author's use of cause and effect in the story. Later in the week, the students will practice fluency with a partner as they read, Who's on First. We will celebrate reading and writing on Friday afternoon with a pajama day. Students can wear pajamas to school on Friday!
