Reading-
Next, we will be reading Grandma's Records. The skill taught using this story is categorize and classify.
After reading help the students think about:1. Did Eric like the visits with his Grandma? What parts of the story make you think so? Have you ever visited a family member who lives somewhere else? Where? What do you remember about the visit?
2. Where did Grandma and her nephew Sammy, the musician, come from? Is it part of the United States? What languages are spoken there?
3. Why would Grandma put her hand over her heart when her favorite record was playing? Have you ever felt a song was “just for you?” Do you have a favorite song? What is it?
4. Did Eric like Sammy’s concert in New York? Have you ever gone to a music concert? Where? Who was playing? What did you enjoy about the music?
We enjoyed reading The Keeping Quilt and we enjoyed hearing about quilt making from Mrs. Bala (a friend of Emma's family) and Isa's grandmother! What crafty and talented people quilter are! Thanks so much for your time and shared knowledge!
