Thursday, Thursday...I can hardly believe how quickly this first week has passed.
6th: We discussed what it means to be a good reader and some things that good readers do. We talked about Active Reading Strategies and practiced making predictions with Seedfolks. We read chapters one and two of the book aloud in class, using sticky notes to keep track of our thoughts as we read. Then, Ms. Devine met with students individually to give a reading diagnostic to each student.
No homework tonight.
7th: Today, we reviewed what makes a good reader and things that good readers do. We reviewed the active reading strategies we learned last year (predict, evaluate, question, connect, visualize) and applied these strategies when we previewed and read chapter one of our class book, The Giver, in class. We also took a pretest on all of the skills we'll be focusing on in this first unit to check students' current knowledge.
Homework: Read Chapter 2 of The Giver.
