Week 4: Sticky Note News

Week 4 was super busy with getting into our "Reading is Thinking" Unit.  One of the best things you can do at home is use our Sticky Strategies!  If you have sticky notes around the house try this: As the kids are reading have them jot their thoughts down while reading.  Examples could be:
  • Predictions
  • Connections
  • Funny parts
  • Is the character doing what I would do?
  • Opinions
This can be done with any genre, from poetry to fiction to informational!  Get STUCK in a good book! :)

Everyone worked really hard getting their thoughts down on their stickys.  At the end of the week we glued our stickys in our reading journals for a grade: "Reading is Thinking."
