The lint roller.
Ask your child about the connection between a lint roller and reading!
Our schema is what hold all of our personal experiences and prior knowledge. This is what we draw from when we read. We are constantly making connections to our own lives (our experiences, thoughts, feelings), to other things we have seen or read (books, movies, tv shows) and to the world.
Today we practiced our awareness of these connections. We all make them, it is just getting to the point that we are metacognitive about them (getting to the point that we can recognize them, call them out, identify them and think about them).
This is tough work. It is quite easy to say, "I can't connect to this book at all". BUT….we are all making connections constantly. We will keep working hard to identify these connections because this is how we can begin to think more deeply about the books we are reading!
THURSDAY-
Genre! Today we defined each of the genres and began thinking about the similarities and differences between them. We will be keeping a graph of the number of books we are reading as a team within each genre. I am SO impressed by the number of books these classes have already finished, and it is only the first full week of school!!!!!
When we get to 100 books as a team (Ms. Daly's Class + Mrs. Pickering's Class), we will schedule a Read and Feed. I will let you know in advance when this will be! I don't think it will be long!
Happy reading :)
