How to and Asking Questions

We have been thinking about writing a How to piece.  Last week we practiced by writing directions for Mrs. Anderson to go down the slide.  It was a lot harder than we thought.  We learned we have to be very specific and clear in our directions.

 Today we made a fleece tied blanket together.  Mrs. Anderson told us the supplies we needed and then the steps in how to do it.  We actually made two small blankets that we will sue during Read to Self time as mats.  See if your child can tell you how to make one!  It's pretty easy!









We have been talking about things that good readers do.  One of these things is to ask questions before, during and after they read to set a purpose for reading and check their understanding.  Today we used the book This is Not my Hat by John Klassen to practice this strategy.  Ask you child about the book and some questions we had as we read and when we were done.

Ask your child about Science today!  It was an experiment involving air and water!
