Making Connections

We are enjoying learning about making connections when we are reading.  This skill helps the children to improve their reading comprehension.

Today we read The Relatives Came. The children listened to the story, then they turned and talked using Think, Pair, Share.  After sharing their connections I modeled for them how to illustrate and write thier connections.  I explained to them the their connections should be meaningful.

After modeling this the children independently did their own connection graphic organizer.

Following that we shared our connections during sharing circle time.
