Say Something

We just finished week three of our animal unit. Our strategy this week was to learn how to stop and say something. We began this strategy by emphasizing the importance of monitoring our understanding while we are reading. Thus, while we are reading, it's important to stop and ask ourselves if what we are reading makes sense. We practiced this as a whole group, in partners and in a small group.

We also worked on creating a labeled picture of an animal (to help us prepare for our animal reports), writing narratives using pictures from magazines and creating animal acrostic poems. We are starting our animal reports this week and I believe our class is ready to take on the challenge!
