Reading Workshop - Asking Questions
Next, we began to ask questions about stories. A strong reader asks questions when they are curious, when they are confused, and when they want to make a prediction! During our shared reading of the story Grandfather Twilight, we asked questions and recorded our questions on padlet! Take a look at all of our thoughtful questions below. Asking these questions helped guide us to look for answers and helped us understand and think about the story. After the book was finished, we looked for questions that were not answered in the story, and we talked about how some authors leave the reader to come up with their own answers!
Reading is thinking and we LOVE thinking about stories!
Best in Show!
Over the past two weeks, we have started our new unit in writing, opinion writing. We started out writing opinions about our very own collections brought in from home! Thank you for sending in the collections! We had many interesting collections from rocks to earrings! In order to write our opinion about ourBest in Show, we learned that you must judge things fairly and give reasons for your choices! Our first graders loved being judges of their collections. We worked hard to convince our reader by using lots of reasons, and we supported our reasons with details.
We had a lot of fun judging our collections. Next week, we are even going to judge a collection of a friend to decide whether we agree or disagree with their choice for Best in Show. In 1S, writers have been hard at work!
