Today we looked at the 'Asking Questions' reading strategy to help us understand what we are reading. Good readers use this strategy before, during and after we read texts. We also discussed 'thin' and 'thick' questions. For instance. a thin question is "right there" and doesn't really help us understand the story. With thick questions, you have to REALLY think and use your noggin'. We listened to the story 'A Day's Work' by Eve Bunting. Here are some of the questions we came up with!
In Science, we conducted experiments with solids to see which ones absorb (soak up) liquids and which ones repel (fall off) liquids. Ask us which ones are great for absorbing spills (thankfully we use water and NOT sticky juice for our experiments!).
