Mrs. Minter's students (2nd grade KGES) learned about different types of QAR today during a model lesson!  The first photo shows students' work after groups answered questions about Henry and Mudge and ordered them from easiest to hardest.  Their discussions were so interesting!  Most thought the Right There question was the easiest, but some argued that the On My Own question was the easiest.  The last photo shows students learning the signal for an Author and Me question.  The lesson is attached below.  Thank you Mrs. Minter!
2nd Grade Questioning Henry and Mudge

Some of our elementary classrooms in King George will be participating in Read for the Record.  The featured text this year is Otis, by Loren Long.  Classroom teachers will be reading the book aloud to students on October 3.  Please also use the Direct Vocabulary Lesson below after reading the picture book.

Otis Direct Vocabulary Lesson

During the year, I will be conducting mini-PD sessions to discuss instruction that addresses the comprehension skills and strategies in the KGCS Comprehension Framework.  Check your email for current dates.  Please check the Assessment Resources page for tools that you can use prior to each training.  This is not required, but having student samples will support our reflection!  For the Sept. 17-19 sessions, use any of the assessments under Questioning or Inferencing.
