April 20th Homework

April 20th Homework
It has been a very busy last few days!! Students have been working on amazing animal print artwork that I will get posted for you to see.
In language we have just begun our final “pathway for learning”. We are going to be looking at inferencing “reading between the lines”. This is a very difficult skill and we will be spending the next few weeks on it. Today we began by looking at a picture and students needed to tell me everything they could about it. They needed to draw inferences about what might have been happening. Make sure to ask your child what the picture was about. The following is the success criteria for Inferencing:
Learning Goal: I am learning to use stated and implied information (about characters /in text) to develop my own interpretation.
Success Criteria:
        Look for clues that the author gives you in the text.
        Connect with what you already know
        Connect with your own experiences
        Put your own experiences together with clues from the text to form your interpretation
        Come up with your own ideas or conclusion about the text that is not told to you in the author’s words.
Chocolate Bar money is due back tomorrow!!
