Today Patrick reread Level D "What?". He read fluently with no assistance until he came to the word "please" on the last page. Even though this was only his second time reading the book, he read it as an independent level:) He also scored 100% on the comprehension test. Then I read the next chapter of Invisible Stanley. Patrick completed a one sentence response to the chapter. We spent the rest of our time researching for his writing and social studies reports. In writing he is working on a report about Lacrosse. He chose 3 subjects to research including: What is Lacrosse? Who are the famous players? and Lacrosse gear. In social studies he is working on oceans. When I asked Patrick how many oceans there are he said, "There is one. The entire ocean in connected." I though that was a very smart observation. He then determined that the big ocean has 5 connected parts: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern Oceans.
