Each month, 1st graders get a chance to read with 6th graders.  This month, 1st graders got to see a 6th grade classroom and ask questions before reading!  They learned a lot about International Town (a recent field trip for the older students).  



Today we read Respecting Others.  We talked about how we respect others at home and at school.  We took a test on key details. 




We have been working on character analysis. 


Why?

We are working on analyzing characters to better understand what we have read.

Share a character trait about Arthur that you wrote.

Use these sentence stem to comment on a friends sentence:

I agree with ____________because_____________.

I disagree with ______________because_________.



These are two new reading strategies we have learned:

“My name is Dexter the Detecting Deer, I help you look for picture clues
To determine tricky words so you don’t get the reading blues.
Simply look at the pictures to help you figure out
What the words are all about!”


“Hi, I’m Paco the Pointing Porcupine.
Point with me as you read each line.
I’m here to help keep your place
And remind you that reading is not a race.”
