Today we made predictions during a 'What is the box?' game. We started by making predictions about what was in the box and then we gradually added a clue and it changed our predictions. Once we had all three clues, we made a prediction that a pumpkin was in the box. We were right! That happens as we read too. We make predictions and then as we find clues in the story, we change our predictions. Where do we get the information to make predictions based on the clues? Our schema!! See? I told you it was important :)). Once we finished that, we then made a prediction about our Scholastic News. We predicted what you might make out of a pumpkin. Then we got these clues: This pumpkin is huge. This pumpkin can float. Let's carve this pumpkin and make it a ________. Can you make a prediction? We read about pumpkins used as boats and about a pumpkin's life cycle.
