The past two weeks, our scholars have reviewed their reading skills, including understanding figurative language and using context clues, by playing Riddle of the Sphynx and Fishing for Clues.
This week, they've interpreted poems, including butterfly poetry, and made inferences to determine the subjects of animal poems and other riddles.
Students have also practiced completing plot diagrams (including the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution) for Athlete vs. Mathlete by W.C. Mack, Adios Oscar!: A Butterfly Fable by Peter Elwell, and Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola.
