I began by reviewing Sasha's homework folder (which was from last week). I re-tested her on her spelling words; I was pleased that she retained the knowledge, missing only one word. She read the oral reading fluency passage with good fluency and comprehension. Next, Sasha read a Robert Frost poem, "Fireflies in the Garden." The poem is rich with figurative language, comparing fireflies to stars while contrasting their transience. We discussed literary vocabulary such as main idea, compare/constrast, and analogy. Sasha answered the comprehension questions with confidence. To conclude, Sasha read a passage from RazKids.com, "Owls Overhead." She really enjoys nonfiction texts about animals and is both animated and curious. She took the associated quiz and earned 150 points for her efforts.
