To reach our friends in Mrs. King's class, go to either our wikispace or our [|blog.]

Vocabulary we want to remember to use when we teach the 2nd graders a new reading strategy:
 * laying tracks
 * observations (also called 'noticings')
 * wonderings (also referred to as 'questions')
 * connections (also called 'similarities')

Another set of strategies we will teach the 2nd graders:
 * looking at text features
 * reading once to get the gist of the selection
 * re-reading to highlight key/main points
 * turning and talking with a partner to compare highlighted sections
 * summarizing from key points
