Dear Parents-
    Our weekly theme is Creative Solutions. We will be reading genres of Realistic Fiction and Magazine Articles. 
Our reading comprehension strategy is to generate questions about the text before, during, and after reading. When reading fiction, they should ask questions about characters' traits, about how one character has changed during the story, or about how two different characters are alike and different.

VPAA is celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday!  In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, we are  joining in the Read Across America celebration with the   thousands of other schools across the nation.  This celebration is to encourage school children of all ages to read.  We have many exciting activities planned for the week. Although Dr. Seuss’s birthday is on March 2ND, our celebration will be during the school day on February 22ND to 26Th.
