Fun time with Mindy

I had a fun time today Mindy! Thanks! I enjoyed being in the first grade world and gained insights into how these strategies could be used in a variety of ways. I think these same comcepts for reading books could be used to glean information on various topics. I enjoyed the reading of Harriet Tubman -I will never outgrow that. I remember almost climbing over the heads of other kids so I could be as close as possible to the pictures as the teacher would read to us. (That must have been so annoying to the other kids!) I need to ponder ways I might be able to still utilize reading to kids with my 8th graders. I know I have kids who coud still benefit from this. I think I could make adjustments in the writing - it is essentially a microtheme activity, isn't it. Thanks for the demo Mindy. I had fun!
