Multilingualism- Do you have any books at home that are written in another language or your home language? We had some friends bring in books from home to show the class.
We had books brought in that were written in Ukrainian, Hebrew, and Romanian.
INCREDIBLE!
We visited Mrs. Johnson's room to play math games with our first grade buddy.
We love helping out our buddies!
Word Study- Today we did an "open sort" where we created categories for our words to go under.
We are learning that we can group words that have similar prefixes, suffixes, and base words. We can also sort based on similar meaning and syllables. When we look for the
IDR (Individualized Daily Reading) time!
We have four bins full of brand new books in our class.
This week we worked on picking a good fit book.
We worked on two comprehension strategies called questioning and self-monitoring.
As we read, we want to ask questions along the way. Sometimes our questions will be answered as we continue reading. Sometimes a question is not answered by continuing reading.
For self-monitoring, we pit stop reading and ask ourselves:
What did I just read?
Does it make sense?
We know that good readers do more than just read the words.
They need to be thinking about what they are reading!
Who doesn't like a new scratch and sniff bookmark?!
Picture day fun!
One of our classmates met the author for Wings of Fire...
