Today we practiced making connections in our reading. We found out it's easier to tell someone about a connection they made but it is more difficult to connect our reading to it. We practiced finding the place in the text that we made the connection. We read Playground Problems and discovered many connections to our own lives. The hard part was citing the evidence from the text that made us think of that connection. We will keep working on this. At home when your child makes a connection, have them cite the place in the text that reminded them of it. They should match. We started to explore number patterns using frames and arrows diagrams today in math. We had to identify the pattern in the numbers and then tell what numbers would come next. It was pretty fun to solve the mystery!
Homework- Read the 'The Spider' poem and have your lucky listener sign the new sheet in your notebook. Read your leveled text. Send both books back on Monday along with the report card envelope signed. Have a great weekend!
