Good Readers Ask Questions

This week we have become excellent questioners.  We know that a good reader asks questions about text before, during, and after reading.  We practiced questioning by reading The Lotus Seed and Fly Away Home, both stories of hope.   

Please pick one After question from either book and answer the question in the comment section.

In Fly Away Home, what does the bird represent in the story?

or

In The Lotus Seed, why does the seed mean so much to the grandmother?

All About You Project

304 has begun their first read aloud called Judy Moody was in a Mood, not a Good Mood, a Bad Mood. It chronicles Judy's third grade adventures.


When Judy Moody’s teacher, Mr. Todd, assigns a project he calls a “Me collage,” Judy thinks it sounds fun (although she won't say so). Mr. Todd tells his students to make a collage that is “all about YOU.” He says to “draw or cut out pictures or paste things to your collage that tell the class what makes you YOU.”


Think for a while about what makes you YOU. Then, start gathering materials to create your own Me collage.

Use ideas from Mr. Todd’s list—and any other categories you can think of! Paste your collage to a big piece of poster board or construction paper. This project is due by the end of September, but you can bring it to class whenever you are finished. I can't wait to learn all about YOU!

Mr. Todd's idea list
my family • my favorite pet
my favorite food • my best friend • clubs I belong to
hobbies • the worst thing that ever happened to me • the funniest thing that ever happened to me
Good Luck!
