Making Connections
Today for reading my group Rotorua were doing Reciprocal Reading and the book we read was called Sports News. This book was about all different types of sports that had its dangers but the people doing it knew how to keep themselves safe. What I liked about this story was that these were faced with challenges like having a disability or being too young but they still pulled through and reached the goals they set for themselves. This story was written by Jill Eggleton and Illustrated by Rob Keily. The pattern in this book was two hot sports then one cold one and it continued throughout the book. I really liked this book because it was inspirational.
Wheel Words
Today for reading my group Rotorua and another group Motuihe were busy playing this game called Wheel words. I timed ten minutes for everyone in my group. In my four-letter words, I found clot, colt, cote, felt and tore, in the five letter words I found cleft, croft, elect and erect. In the seven letter words, I found crofter, elector, and erector. For the obscure words, I found flot, lote, teer, teel, reet and leet. I really liked finding these words and playing this game because opened up my brain to some new words.
Today for Reading my group had Reciprocal Reading. We read a book about building that were built to last. We learned about different types of structures and buildings around the world, we learned how old they were, how long it took and who designed it. Reciprocal reading is about when you Predict, Silent read, Clarify, Question and Summarize. After you have done all those stages you let the next person to become the leader and have a different about the next pages.
Today for Reading my group Rotorua and Motuihe were playing a game called Wheel words. Wheel words is a game where you have to make a word by using a letter on a wheel but there's a twist you are supposed to use the letter in the middle. We were only allowed to use three (3) hits and that was it, no more then that. I really enjoyed playing this game because it challenges your brain and makes you think out side of the box. This is a link to the game so you can enjoy playing it to Wheel words
