We have been working on making connections to the text that we are reading and today we expanded that into the nonfiction text we are reading (or viewing in our case). When reading information we make connections to the facts we already knew and make connections to our background knowledge. We discussed the difference between the word knew and the word new (you would be impressed with what your students know!) We watched Bill Nye Rocks and Soil looking for information that was new and information that we knew. Tomorrow we will finish up putting that information onto a chart.
As authors today we wrote stories that we think will be engaging to our readers. Everyone chose a story topic they thought they could write well about and began a story that uses words that show the action, not tell about it. Harder than you might think.
Really enjoyed our dance this morning and looking forward to tomorrow with the new dance instructor.
