Session 7-August 6th: Focus on the Ending and Summer Book Pledges!
We finished up the last of our comprehension questions for Friday: Pizza and discussed the ending of the book! I can't believe we finished already!! What a GREAT read!
Next, students completed a "Book Walk" to read summaries for other novels by Sarah Weeks. They wandered the room and jotted down notes about things that interested them about the novels, what they were wondering about, and if they would like to read the book in the future. Then, we completed "summer book pledges" in which we made promises to check out one of the books we found the most interesting and read it in the future!
Don't forget, Sarah Weeks has a website that is updated with future projects and new books that are coming out. You can visit it using the link below if you want to dig deeper!

Keep On Reading!!!

Session 6-August 1st: Focus on Connections
We began with our comprehension questions and discussion of the section we read at home!
Next, we discussed different types of connections; text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world. Students worked in groups to determine an example of each type of connection for Save Me a Seat. Making connections is a great way to deepen comprehension and help to engage higher level thought.
