During read aloud we have been discussing the importance of making connections while reading. This week we have been focusing on making “Text To Self” connections. After reading The One and Only Ivan, we got a chance to think about connections between the book and our life experiences. Here are some of our sentence starters:
- I felt the way ______ did when _______
- This reminds me of a time __________
In Social Studies we looked back to the questions we generated from our google maps investigation of Peru. We noticed that lots of our questions actually fell within bigger headings such as: transportation, culture/traditions, language, environment/pollution, buildings, etc. After reading through the questions, we grouped them as a class into the appropriate headings. Our next step is to pick some of the questions that interest us the most and research them! We are looking forward to continuing this throughout the week.
Have a great night!
