Events of the Day...

Wondering Wednesday

Today, we enjoyed another amazing story telling session with Denise Miller.  Students were very engaged with the legends and songs that she shared.

Many students brought home nonfiction home reading books.  I just wanted to share some ideas for encouraging reading comprehension of this genre of book.  Students can still use the Reading Powers.
1) Visualizing
2) Connecting
3) Questioning
4) Inferring
5) Transforming

Students can also:
-Summarize (What are the main ideas being presented?)
-What have you learned?
-Vocabulary
-Focus on nonfiction features (table of contents, headings/ subtitles, and glossary)

Reminders:

  • Library tomorrow
  • Return home reading tomorrow
  • Early dismissal on Friday
