Cafe Reading May 11th - May 15th

By -

Hello everyone! It’s Mrs. Barton here again with our weekly Café Reading and Library lesson. This week’s lesson will be a review lesson on visualizing.


Visualizing is when students listen to or read text and then start to create pictures in their mind or make a mind movie. When readers visualize what is happening in the story, they remember more of what they read or hear.

Read - All the World by Liz Garton  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C4IK5B6D4o  

This book has great ‘picture’ words (sand, stone, pebble, sun). When I close my eyes, I can visualize (make pictures in my head) those things.

Activities

1.     Go for a walk, hike, or bike ride. While you are doing this, look at the trees, the parks, the buildings, the sky, and anything else you see.
2.    After your walk, draw a picture of something that you saw. Close your eyes and try to remember. Visualizing ‘picture’ words like (people, trees, birds, building, cars, flowers).

If anyone ever wants to email me a picture of their work, please do so.J

Today we said "goodbye" to our coho salmon. Mr. Wallace and Mrs. Jones-Gallant had quite a time catching all of the fish and putting them into the bucket. Rob, the fisheries officer, stopped by and collected the bucket of fish.  Later that day we checked the tank and there were about 10 fish swimming around in the tank!!  They had been hiding under the grate. I guess they didn't want to go back to the creek!  We will have to keep feeding them and we will try catching the last few fish another day.
