Relationships

Today in class we talked about relationships.  We decided that a good definition for a relationsship is how two people relate to each other and how they get along.  We enjoyed a good book titled My Rotten Red-Headed Older Brother by Patricia Polacco.  This book was about 2 siblings who are always competing with each other and annoy each other. A very big event happened in the book that cause their relationship to change.  The assignment given to my kiddos today was to respond to the text in their Response Notebooks by  describing the relationship between the 2 main characters and to identify the even that caused their relationship to change.  They also had to explain what the new relationship was.  I was really proud of my kiddos today! Everyone worked really hard!

We also touched on character traits as well.  We listened to the book on my favorite interactive website for books: Storyline Online.  You could help your child get better at this school by having them read one of their favorite books and simply talk to them about the main character's relationships with other characters and discuss if anything happened to make them change!!

Happy Reading
