OM: What was your favorite story as a child? What is it about?
Reviewed the strategies from yesterday's class (see below), I then modeled using the strategies by reading the book Owl Moon by Jane Yolen to the class. I stopped occasionally to 'think aloud' about visualizing, predicting, connecting, etc.
Students will bring a picture book to class on Monday, 9/25, to practice these strategies with a classmate.
Next week we will be taking the first benchmark assessment of the year. This test will tell us which skills should be concentrated on for the state assessment in January.
