This week the class is reading The Extra Good Sunday by Beverly Clearly. In this humorous fiction story, Ramona and Beezus had complained about what their mom made for dinner the night before, so now the girls are in charge of making supper. The story follows the girls through the ups and downs of preparing the meal. In the end, the reader finds how the girls' parents feel about the meal that was made. The comprehension skill covered understanding characters. Students also worked on using a thesaurus as the vocabulary skill. The phonics skill focused on vowel + r words.
