Class Experience

Hello, everyone!
This spring break camp incorporates four classes from a series I created called "Building Character and Comprehension." Each class focuses on an important character trait and incorporates a fundamental reading comprehension strategy. Below is a course schedule: 

Monday: "Building Character and Comprehension: Reading About Responsibility" - Students will learn about and discuss responsibility while practicing making inferences. 
Tuesday: "Building Character and Comprehension: Reading About Honesty" - Students will learn about and discuss honesty while practicing characterization. 
Wednesday: "Building Character and Comprehension: Reading About Kindness" - Students will learn about and discuss kindness while practicing plot analysis. 
Thursday: "Building Character and Comprehension: Reading About Respect" - Students will learn about and discuss respect while practicing characterization. 

I look forward to working with your student as we build character and comprehension! 
Sincerely, 
Nicole Stendahl
