Reading BLOCK 3 ~ 4/2

Today we started a new story: The Gold Coin.  The students worked on their context clues chart for their story vocabulary.  Students figure out what each vocabulary word means just by finding the word in the story and using their context clues.  Once they have defined the words using their context clues, they look them up in the glossary and see how close they were.  

Below is their vocabulary chart.

Vocabulary Words	Context Clues	Definition
Shriveled      Pg 142
Insistent      Pg 142
Despair      Pg 144
Stifling      Pg 156
Speechless      Pg 160
Distressed      Pg 160

After working on their vocabulary we got started with the story.
