Tomorrow is an in-service day for teachers.
In reading, we have working on summarizing. Summarizing is a short retelling of the main points of something... in this case what we have read. The students have been using post-it notes to help them remember the main points of what they have read. Right now it is every two pages. This will only last for another week. At that point we will begin Wonder (4th) and Fish in a Tree (5th).
We will be reading together in school for our 1st read and then the students will do the 2nd read at home. We will analyze the text the next day. After these units, students will only need to use post-its at the end of chapters to summarize. If your child is having difficulty remembering the big points, then he or she may go back to doing a post-it every couple of pages .
Right now, Fish in a Tree audio is linked on the blog. I am still trying to find a Wonder audio that I like!
Next Friday is Hay Day and then that Sunday, 10/27/19 is our annual Harvest Dinner. Students eat free this year thanks to Grady's Golden Goodness.
