Lesson Outline
Maya re-read Giving Thanks to strengthen fluency and respond to the reading with three short response questions based on the sequence of events. She found text evidence to support her claims and paraphrased her responses. She was able to do this with very little prompting because she was confidant with where to find the information she needed based on being familiar with the text from reading and re-reading. Maya completed another section in her cursive book focusing on combining c, a, and d. She is doing a beautiful job of connecting letters without breaking her flow of writing. While working with her vision stick, she seems to be able to view the image as "one" at a slightly closer range before her left eye shifts. We played Guess Who, an inferencing game. We played one rounds with people and the other with animals. She is getting better at organizing the feedback she gets in her mind to be able to eliminate the people or animals sharing/not sharing the characteristics mentioned. (Ex: Are you bald?) If answered yes, she needs to knock down the people that are not bald. If answered no, she needs to knock down the people that are. I encourage her to rephrase it aloud so she understands the process. (Okay, so you are bald, so I need to get rid of the people that are not) We also are working on asking general questions to eliminate a majority. (look for many common characteristics, as opposed to one small detail such as one that only applies to one animal or person) She needed some prompting with questioning: Are you a man or woman? Are you African American or white? Do you have glasses or no? Are you a farm animal? Could you be a household pet? Are you a mammal or reptile? etc. Great job, Maya!
