In 2nd grade library time, we read Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg, and learned about inferences and a little bit about perspective. We learned that inferences are a conclusion a reader draws from the text based on their schema and various clues in the story. Then we wrote some inferences and made these ants!
I read this book to the third grade class and they loved it! Then we read it again and talked about cause and effect and WHY Camilla got her stripes. Here's a little craftivity we did with it.
Here's a little something K4, K5 and 2nd grade did. We read the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes and the made our names in rainbow colors....super cute!
We are off to a great start in library! Today was our second day of Morning Readers. At 7:30 every morning, the library is open to students in 2nd through 6th grade for reading, and AR test taking. Here are some pics of our readers!
