Reading: We will start reading a Native American story from our Literacy Place Reading Program titled Fox Song by Joseph Bruchac. This story is a bout a young girl named Jamie, whose great-grandmother has recently passed away, the memories she has of her, and the life lessons she has learned. This is one of my favorites!
