Orioles magic...feel it happen! We started out our fun Friday with a dance tribute to the hometown team. The girls looked great in their orange and black and everyone was extremely excited to cheer the O's to a big win today!
The girls became fortune tellers today as they learned about prediction during our author's study. We read Shortcut by Donald Crews and discussed why predicting what happens next in a story is important to overall understanding. We stopped reading the book halfway through and gave the girls "crystal balls." The girls had to draw what they predicted would happen next in the story.
When they were done, we turned off our lights and held a flashlight to the bottom of their "crystal balls" while they shared their predictions.
