We have come to the end of our reading with The Wild robot, but the fun doesn't stop here! Thank you for committing to reading each night as a family, I hope it has turned in to something that will continue! A bingo board is coming home today with students--complete 5 in a row and turn in to Mrs. LaRue for 10 DOJO points! Attach any evidence of completion (i.e. draw a picture of a robot) and initial the boxes that have been completed before turning in. Attached you will find pictures of the Connection Guide and the Family Fun Packet in case you need those to complete an activity. Also attached you will find the Next Book Connection.
