Hello parents and students of Mrs. Hoffman's guided reading group! For the next few weeks, our guided reading group will be reading The Little House on the Prairie book by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The group will learn new vocabulary words, answer questions about what we read, and do fun activities that coincide with the book. At the end of the book, there will be a report that your students will complete that helps summarize the book and tells us what they have learned.
