Groundhogs Day


It's February 2nd and the Groundhog has seen his shadow, so a million more days of winter are waiting. It is good in a way because it gives me more time to keep up with this blog. We are working on HTML in 8th grade and the kids need one on one help. Right now I am in the middle of preparing for my Reading First interview. This collaboration of teachers meets each week to talk about reading strategies and share their experiences. It was my turn to videotape myself teaching Inferring strategies and I did it with the third grade class. You really learn about how you teach when you teach something completely different then you are used to. I found that teaching this strategy was a great experience. I used the Detective LaRue books and the kids wrote post its on what was going on in between the lines in order to show how they inferred what was happening.
