This week we are reading.............AND INFERENCING!!!!

What Happened to Patrick's Dinosaurs by Carol Carrick
Due to the short holiday week, we will NOT have a test this week. :) 

Here is a YouTube video of this book being read

This is a great book for inferencing! We did an inferencing activity today-
 My second graders got to do something I bet they NEVER thought they would be able to do! They got to go through my purse!!!!!!!!!!!! We made a chart titled:
What's in Mrs. Lawson's Bag?
(and more importantly, what does it all mean???????????)

I found this idea on Pinterest & it isn't new but it is soooooooooooo powerful for teaching inferencing! Students really understand the evidence and reasonableness of their inferences after this activity. I am looking forward to our animal inferencing activity tomorrow!
Pictures to come! :)

Next week we will be reading Puddle Jumper- How A Toy is Made by Ann Morris who is also the author of How Teddy Bears Are Made
Front Cover
In Puddle Jumper, Sarah's father doesn't go to an office or factory to work. He designs and builds wooden toys in a workshop near their home, and sometimes he lets Sarah help. This text takes children through the process of inventing a new toy-from design to assembly to the best part of all, trying it out.
