Earthquake

We have been learning about inferences, when we are doing our reading, and we like looking at the cartoons in the paper.  We have been looking at the ones about earthquakes and we know exactly what they mean because we can make connections with them and we have lots of prior knowledge about earthquakes. Making inferences helps us understand what we are reading. We also think that it is a good way for people to express themselves.

Reading

We have been having our Learning Conferences.  Listen to Keely talking about her reading. Keely is a really good reader because she uses different reading strategies.

Reading by Tinika

I am learning to be a good reader by using 2 voices in my head.  One voice tells me what words to say and one voice tells me what the story means.  I think that I am getting good at this.
