Rain Forest Link
I am obsessed, there are so many cool places on the web filled with Rain Forest Information! So- I had to share this one! Very Cool- you can even click on the images and it brings up more facts… Play around with it! I bet your schema is going to get HUGE on this topic this week! Non FICTION is way COOL!
Click on the image below to find interesting info!!!
Rain Forest Research
We have been busy reading books, watching clips online, researching online and listening to speakers all on the topic: RAIN FORESTS! There minds have been so curious and I have loved watching the light in their eyes spark up every time they learn a new fact or discover a WOW response!
On these rainy days, I wanted to remind the kids that they can continue their research at home using the KID SAFE links on the right side bar. There are so many articles, pages, images and videos out there with amazing information on this topic!
SO – for link of the week this week I am encouraging the kids to use the links on the right side bar to LEARN more!
The more you know the more you grow!!!
Happy Searching!
How often do you make a MENTAL IMAGE?
Good Readers always make Mental Images in their head while reading or listening to someone read! We have been illustrating our vivid visualizations in Room 305! Here is another fun song to help us to remember to create a mental image while reading!
Questioning
You probably read the note I sent home about the kids now using the Questioning Strategy! Here is a fun song that we sing to help us to remember to ASK questions BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER reading! Make sure your children STOP and THINK while they read and are discussing the strategies that we are using in class at home too! We have really enjoyed reading out of their Reader’s Notebooks!
Happy Reading!!!
