November 11 ~ Reading ALL BLOCKS

Today we began our new weekly story Grandma Essie's Covered Wagon.  We made a vocabulary chart that included the word, what we thought the definition was using context clues, and the actual definition of the word using our glossary.  

Word	Context Clues (guess)	Definition
Bashful (page 317)
Canvas (page 312)
Granite (page 314)
Orphanage (page 326)
Tornado (page 318)
Cemetery (page 328)

After filling in the chart students started to make their predictions for the story.  All predictions are based on pictures.

Remember if you didn't finish your predictions that is also considered homework tonight.
