Our reading theme this week was severe weather. Together we read the main selection called, “Super Storms.” Did you know that hail can be the size of a marble or a baseball! Or that a thunderstorm can drop millions of gallons of water in just one minute? The children learned all kinds of fascinating facts like these this week. Vocabulary words found in their texts this week include: beware, destroy, grasslands, prevent, uprooted, and violent. We worked on the comprehension strategy of making and checking predictions while reading. Additional skills we covered over the course of the week were: compound words, and identifying repetition and mood in poetry!
