Maya and I reviewed folktales and read level L "The First Strawberries" alternating reading pages. I was very impressed with her recall of our first lesson on folktales:) Maya made and confirmed predictions about her reading. She also worked hard to decode words independently during reading. This is a huge step for her! The story was about Cherokee Native Americans and Maya made the connection to her dress being Cherokee. She also discussed how Cherokee is a proper noun for people and clothes. Lastly, Maya took a quiz on nouns (common and proper). She scored 100%.
