Announcements and Reminders:  April 14 Looking ahead:  We have 5 more classes. April 14 will be our class Read-a-Thon.   Bring books and treats and perhaps pillows to sit on. On April 16 you will rotate to Mrs. Fugal's classroom.

Today’s Agenda: 1. Individual Reading and Fill Out Your Log 2. Partner Fluency Practice 3. Reading to Learn:         Using Mind-Mapping to Learn and Remember        (Continuing to create a Mind-Map for the Lewis and Clark Expedition) Add drawings, words, icons, etc. to your map to help you understand  and retain (that means remember) the information  about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Sketch in state boundaries, rivers, events.  Start with the article. Use the maps you have. Use the timeline. Test next time! What strategies are you using?

If you were absent:  See above. Ask for the handouts when you get back. Complete 20 minutes of reading on your own, record it, get a parent signature, and attach it to your reading log.
