We love to read together.
What's the title of the book?
- T-R-E-E-S, "Trees."
- We read all kind of books, fiction and informational.
Lucas is learning so much from reading.
He love the stories, and he's learning and thinking about science.
- Your lungs pull oxygen in.
- We really take time to think about and discuss the book.
Donde?
- In a space, where there's a lot of space, and nothing to, like, block the trees from growing and growing.
- When he doesn't understand something, I don't give him the answer.
He learns more, if I help him to figure it out on his own.
What do you breathe?
- You breathe in air?
- Air.
Reading has helped Lucas to develop curiosity and love of learning.
- Whoa.
(Ceucynth laughs) (gentle upbeat music)
