Making Connections



We have been practicing the strategy of making connections while reading books. 




When we make meaningful connections between our own life experiences or knowledge and what we read, we are able to deepen and extend our understanding about...

  • how a character feels
  • a particular setting
  • why something happened
  • what might happen next

We practiced this strategy by recording our connections on sticky notes. 





We then used Seesaw to explain the connections and how they help us as readers. 












Happy reading!

Field Trip to Suma Rikyu Park



On Friday, we went on our annual field trip to Suma Rikyu Park. 




Here, we are on our way!






Once we arrived, we enjoyed playing on the different structures!












Waiting for our turns...




Look at us go!





Weeeeeeeee!








After lunch, we were ready for our second half of play time!








By the end of the day, we were exhausted but happy about all the fun we had!
