Additional activities include: 📖 reading comprehension (Kahoot & 5W game) 📖 story elements 📖 unscrambling words from the book of the week 📖 artistic scenes 📖 Kahoot vocabulary game, cut-and-paste worksheets, and word searches 📖 scene acting 📚 Here is the weekly schedule: 🦕 Week #1: Dinosaurs Before Dark 🏰 Week #2: The Knight at Dawn 💀 Week #3: Mummies in the Morning 🏴☠️ Week #4 Pirates Past Noon See you inside! Love, Teacher Bethanie
