We worked some more on our word wall words and since it is Thesaurus Thursday, began a new list of GREAT words we can use in our writing. We read The Boy Who Collected Words and will finish it up next week.
We read the poem, Fear of Frying to work on our inferring skills. Isabella did such a great job, she was changing her thinking as we read, she introduced us to a new strategy: synthesizing!!! We won't work in depth on this strategy till later in the year, but synthesis is changing your thinking as you read and weaving your thoughts together with the text to create meaning.
We realized that we question the author of the books we read so we created a Questioning the Writer...That's Me chart!!! We listed questions we should be asking ourselves as we write to make sure our writing is organized in a way that the reader can understand.
Students had art in the afternoon plus their ELL enrichment time. We have P.E. and music tomorrow, so make sure you are wearing appropriate shoes.
Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ...READ....READ!!!!
