Transportation and Emotions in Stories

Mrs. Besson introduces the theme of 'moving along' and encourages students to reflect on how they and their families travel. The lesson includes phonics practice with the sounds of J and Q, and introduces sight words related to travel. A story about a family's move due to Dad's new job is read, followed by an analysis of the story's characters, actions, and settings. Students are encouraged to write a journal entry from the perspective of a character in the story.
