Figuring out Unknown Words


Today in school, we learned how to figure out unknown words. By reading a picture book called Baloney; Henry P., we developed strategies for unearthing the meaning of words; many times through context clues.  We talked about not whipping through words like we're reading on autopilot.  We learned that paying attention to our books and making mental movies as we read is one of the most important things.  We finished the DWA writing assessment.  After literacy, room 15 went to the media center to pick out more just right books.


Homework:
  • 30 minutes of independent reading
  • Math homework: Study Link 1.3 due on Thursday
  • Planners will also be checked on Thursday morning for signatures; sign those planners
Reminders: 
  • No School tomorrow (Wednesday): Yom Kippur
