Making CONNECTIONS
This week we will start working on making connections when we read text. The connections can be text to text, text to self or text to world.
While you are reading with your child at home, see if they can make some of these connections! This is a great strategy to check comprehension and develop critical thinking skills when they are reading! |

This week we practiced making anchor charts on Seesaw, showing what we could learn from The Mitten by just looking at the pictures, and then by looking at the words.

Students are picking out the beginning, middle and the end of a story to share key details from what they read. We are using the anchor chart below to help us prepare for our retells.
