This week we have been focusing our studies on text-to-self connections. The students are making connections left and right and really doing a great job! Today we read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Before reading the book we made predictions using invisible paint....just like Alexander does in the book. The invisible pictures was such a fun activity and the predictions were hilarious! Needless to say, all of the students raised their hand to make a connection when Alexander painted an invisible castle in the book. Anyways, keep this in mind when reading with your child at home. Good readers are always finding connections! Take a look below to see some samples of our invisible pictures. (We painted with a special invisible paint when ironed turned brown!)
Haha...a prize goes out to anyone who can tell what the predictions are here...love these kids!!! :)
Tristan has an autographed copy of this book. Hope he made the connection. Apologies from "the original source" for all his talking! :-)
